Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons chopped chives

Instructions

Dry the salmon cubes using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning over the salmon cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pieces in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped chives over the salmon bites before serving. Serve warm over rice or with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For extra spice, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend. This recipe can also be made using chicken or shrimp. Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.
