Ingredients:

  • 1.25 lbs (567g) Salmon fillet, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5ml) Salt
  • 1/8 tsp (0.75ml) Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Honey
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) Soy sauce, low sodium
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5ml) Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tbsp (8g) Cornstarch, mixed with 2 tbsp (30ml) cold water (slurry)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cut the salmon fillet into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the salmon bites in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the cooked salmon bites. Bring to a simmer and then add the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens and coats the salmon bites evenly. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (if desired). Serve immediately.
