Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Toss the salmon in cornstarch until each piece is lightly coated.
  • Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the honey garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Combine with salmon: Return the salmon to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the salmon is well-glazed.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Serve over rice, quinoa, or a bed of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to your taste for a sweeter or saltier flavor.
