Description
These honey glazed salmon bites are sweet, savory, and perfectly sticky with a caramelized finish. Served over rice with fresh toppings, they make an easy and flavorful weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs skinless salmon filets, diced into bite sized cubes
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (or 2 tbsp more honey)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Sliced green onion, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Sliced red chili, for garnish
- Rice and vegetables, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add diced salmon cubes to a large bowl. The cubes should be about 1 inch by 1 inch.
- In another bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
- Pour the sauce over the salmon and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon and marinade onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then brush the salmon bites with the sauce on the tray.
- Turn on the broiler and broil for another 5 to 7 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning, until the salmon develops a crispy sticky coating.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Brush again with the thickened sauce from the tray.
- Serve over rice and vegetables, then top with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and sliced red chili.
Notes
- Use additional honey instead of sweet chili sauce for a milder flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even caramelization.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with steamed broccoli, snap peas, or bok choy for a complete meal.
