Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for salmon)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon: Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel. In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the salmon cubes with olive oil and toss them in the seasoning mix until evenly coated.
  • Pan-Sear the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping often until crispy and golden. Transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside.
  • Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  • Combine and Serve: Return the salmon to the skillet and toss in the honey garlic sauce until well-coated. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives. Serve with rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain the texture and flavor.
