Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes very dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the salmon cubes with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, salt, and pepper until lightly coated.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the crispy salmon bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly with the honey garlic glaze.
  8. Remove from heat immediately and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can air fry the coated salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes before glazing.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, increase the slurry amount slightly.
