Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and deboned, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works best for extra crunch)

2 large eggs, beaten

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/4 cup honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon:

    - Start by cutting the salmon into bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. This helps the batter adhere better.

      Set Up the Dredging Station:

        - In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, pour the breadcrumbs. Create an assembly line with these three bowls.

          Coat the Salmon:

            - Take each salmon cube and dredge it in flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well-covered for a crispy exterior.

              Fry the Salmon Bites:

                - In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon bites in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

                  Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:

                    - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens slightly.

                      Toss and Serve:

                        - In a large bowl, gently toss the fried salmon bites with the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.

                          Garnish:

                            - Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and presentation.
