Description
Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon Bites are a delicious and impressive appetizer that combines the sweetness of honey with the savory flavors of garlic and soy sauce, resulting in perfectly crispy salmon pieces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Add the salmon pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- After marinating, remove the salmon from the fridge and sprinkle cornstarch, black pepper, and salt over the pieces. Gently toss to coat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon pieces in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy salmon bites warm, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute the salmon with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
