Salmon Bites with Hot Honey

Salmon Bites with Hot Honey

Instructions

1. Prepare the salmon bites:

   • Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel.
   • In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2. Cook the salmon:

   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Make the hot honey glaze:

   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes (if using), and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.
   • Let the glaze simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. Combine the salmon and glaze:

   • Return the cooked salmon bites to the skillet. Toss gently in the hot honey glaze, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cook for 1 minute to warm through.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the glazed salmon bites to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, tangy finish.
