Ingredients
Scale
1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch bites
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into uniform 1-inch pieces. Pat the salmon pieces dry with a paper towel.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
Add the salmon bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce.
Pour the honey mixture over the salmon in the skillet. Stir gently to coat all the pieces.
Cook for 1 minute more, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly into a glaze.
Remove from heat, season with black pepper, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
If you prefer an air fryer method, toss the salmon bites with the melted butter and garlic, then air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. Toss with the honey glaze after cooking.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the glaze.
Do not overcook the salmon; it should flake easily when done.
