Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salmon
- 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish and Serving
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Add the salmon bites to the marinade and gently toss them to coat evenly. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the Salmon Bites: Add the salmon bites to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the salmon bites from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Marinating for longer than 10 minutes will intensify the flavor but avoid exceeding 30 minutes to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor impact in this recipe.
- Salmon fillets can be substituted with frozen, just thaw completely before marinating and cooking.
