Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lb salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives

Instructions

  • Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel and season them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour about a tablespoon of oil and massage the salmon cubes.
  • Heat a heavy skillet with a tablespoon of oil, add the salmon cubes in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes by flipping them often until crispy and golden. Transfer the cooked crispy salmon cubes to a plate and cook the remaining salmon.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining oil and add garlic and ginger. Sauté for a minute.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  • Transfer the crispy salmon back to the skillet and toss it well with the sauce. Check for seasonings.

 

  • Serve the salmon bites over rice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Dry the salmon with paper towels to get rid of any extra moisture.
  • Cube the salmon into even pieces for even cooking.
  • Gently toss the salmon with seasoning until all the pieces are well coated.
  • Add cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend to give the salmon a spicy kick.
  • Allow the salmon to marinate in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes to an hour if you have time.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Easily make this in the air fryer. Preheat to 390°F and cook for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through.

 

  • You can also make this recipe with cubes of chicken or shrimp. Adjust the cooking times accordingly.
