Marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce, these pan-seared salmon bites are crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. These caramelized little morsels are genius!
green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, optional
Instructions
Make marinade: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup mix together 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 Tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon sriracha.
Marinade salmon: Place the cubed salmon into a shallow bowl or glass container. Pour marinade over the salmon and toss to coat well. For best results, marinate for 30 minutes or proceed immediately with cooking.
Cook salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 Tablespoon canola oil and swirl to coat. Using tongs, remove the salmon cubes from the marinade and add them to the skillet (skin side down, if it has skin) and sear for 2-3 minutes, or until nice and brown. Save the remaining marinade. Flip the salmon using tongs and sear on the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked.
Add sauce to salmon: Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and toss salmon to coat in the sauce.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
