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 serving
- Sesame seeds, for serving
- Sliced red chili, for serving
- Rice and veggies, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add diced salmon cubes to a large bowl. Pieces should be about 1 inch by 1 inch.
- In another bowl or measuring cup, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
- Pour the marinade 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 the oven to broil and broil for 5 to 7 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the salmon develops a sticky caramelized coating.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Brush the salmon bites again with the thickened sauce from the tray.
- Serve over rice with veggies and garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds, and sliced red chili.
Notes
- Sweet chili sauce can be replaced with an additional 2 tablespoons of honey for a milder flavor.
- Watch the salmon carefully while broiling to avoid overcooking or burning.
- Serve with steamed broccoli, snap peas, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
