Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds salmon, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili-garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch for coating salmon
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat salmon dry and cut into 1-inch bites. Toss with salt, pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add salmon in a single layer and sear until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, then pour in the honey-garlic sauce. Simmer, stirring, until slightly thick and glossy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Return salmon to the pan and toss to coat. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more until glazed and just cooked through (internal temp about 125 to 130 F).
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice or with steamed veggies.
Notes
For extra crisp edges, air-fry the coated salmon at 400 F for 6 to 8 minutes, then toss in the warmed sauce. Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness and adjust heat with more or less sriracha.
