Instructions

1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the salmon for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water.

4. Pour the sauce into the same skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.

5. Return the salmon bites to the skillet and gently toss until evenly coated with the honey garlic glaze.

6. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon.

7. Remove from the heat, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve immediately with lemon wedges, steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Pat the salmon dry before cooking for the best golden crust.

Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.

Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor.

Cook the salmon just until flaky to keep it juicy.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
