Ingredients

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Season the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon cubes and gently toss them in the mixture until they are well-coated.

Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.

Cook the Salmon Bites: Carefully place the seasoned salmon bites in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.

Glaze with Hot Honey: Once the salmon bites are close to being done, drizzle the hot honey over them in the pan. Allow them to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, tossing gently to coat the bites in the sweet glaze.

Serve: Remove the salmon bites from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
