Prepare tender, flavorful salmon bites coated in a sweet and savory honey butter garlic glaze quickly on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the salmon cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes without moving them.
  4. Flip the salmon cubes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the honey and soy sauce. Stir gently to coat all the salmon pieces.
  7. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly into a glaze. Do not overcook the salmon.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • You can use an air fryer set to 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes instead of pan-searing for a different texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, let the sauce simmer for an extra minute after adding the honey and soy sauce.
