Honey-Garlic Salmon Bites
A vibrant, sweet, and savory marinade featuring soy sauce, honey, lemon, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil that transforms salmon into succulent, flavor-packed bites. Perfect for a quick, healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pound salmon fillet skin removed
Instructions
- 1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined. 2. Add the cubed salmon to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Gently toss to distribute the marinade evenly. 3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate for up to 2 hours. 4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 5. Arrange the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your salmon pieces. 7. Serve the honey-garlic salmon bites immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor. For best results, use fresh salmon. Cook in oven, air fryer, or pan. Serve with rice and steamed veggies.
