Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Transform a fresh salmon fillet into delectable, palm-sized morsels by slicing it into uniform, bite-sized cubes with a sharp kitchen knife.
- Craft a vibrant marinade by amalgamating golden honey, crushed garlic, umami-rich soy sauce, fragrant olive oil, and zesty lemon juice in a mixing vessel.
- Gently season the salmon cubes with a whisper of salt and cracked black pepper, then meticulously immerse them in the aromatic marinade, ensuring each piece is lavishly coated.
- Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach optimal temperature for caramelization.
- Carefully transfer the marinated salmon cubes into the heated skillet, arranging them with precision to promote even cooking.
- Allow the salmon to sizzle and transform, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown exterior develops and the internal texture becomes tender and flaky.
- Once perfectly cooked, transfer the glistening salmon bites onto a serving platter and generously drizzle the remaining marinade over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting these succulent morsels as an irresistible appetizer or protein-rich main course.
Notes
- Slice salmon uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent bite sizes for perfect presentation.
- Marinate salmon pieces for 15-30 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor penetration and tenderness.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve a crispy exterior and prevent excess moisture during searing.
- For gluten-free option, replace traditional soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain similar umami taste profile.
