Honey Butter Garlic Glazed Salmon Bites Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar-free alternative)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the honey and soy sauce, mixing until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Season the salmon bites with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the garlic butter glaze.
- Cook the salmon bites for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and glazed nicely.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm!
Tips for Success
- To ensure perfect cooking, be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be just cooked through and still tender!
- Leftover salmon bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days—perfect for quick lunches!
- For a fun twist, serve the salmon bites in lettuce wraps for a light and refreshing meal option!
