Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper optional
- 1 tongs or spatula
- 1 brush for sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, if desired.
- Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger (if using), olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the honey garlic marinade.
- Add the salmon pieces to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until they are well coated.
- Place the marinated salmon bites on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even cooking.
- Bake the salmon bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
- For extra crunch, you can broil the salmon bites for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve with additional honey garlic sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
