Ingredients:

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon butter

2–3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)

1–1.5 pounds salmon, skinless, cut into bite-sized cubes

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions, sesame seeds

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the Salmon:

Cut salmon into 1- to 1.5-inch cubes.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Make the Glaze:

In a small bowl, mix together:

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp lemon juice

Set aside.

3. Sear the Salmon:

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add a drizzle of oil.

Add salmon cubes, searing for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through.

Remove salmon and set aside.

4. Cook the Glaze:

In the same pan, reduce heat to medium.

Add 1 tbsp butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for ~30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in the honey-soy-lemon mixture.

Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Glaze the Salmon:

Return salmon to the pan.

Toss gently to coat all pieces in the glaze.
