Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Bites
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces
Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the salmon bites evenly.
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade that will coat the salmon perfectly.
- Coat the salmon: Add the bite-sized salmon pieces to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently to ensure each piece is well coated with the honey garlic mixture, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Arrange for baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the coated salmon bites in a single layer on the sheet for even cooking.
- Bake the salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The honey garlic sauce will caramelize slightly, adding a delightful glaze.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon bites from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately for a delicious, quick meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic taste.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the salmon bites for the last 2 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to make a complete meal.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a reduced salt version.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
