Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut fresh salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces, roughly one-inch cubes for even cooking. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well and to help crispiness.
  2. Season and Coat: Lightly season the salmon bites with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece evenly in cornstarch to create a crispy exterior once cooked.
  3. Make Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice to create a sweet, tangy glaze.
  4. Fry the Salmon Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the salmon bites in batches without overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Toss in Sauce: Lower heat to medium, add the honey garlic sauce to the skillet, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Gently toss the crispy salmon bites in the sauce to coat evenly without breaking them apart.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salmon bites to a serving plate, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Pat the salmon dry before coating to ensure crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; this helps each bite crisp evenly.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
  • Maintain medium-high heat to prevent burning the honey glaze.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy optimal crisp texture and taste.
