Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized cubes
• salt
• black pepper
• garlic powder
• olive oil

Glaze:

• honey
• sriracha sauce
• soy sauce
• lime juice
• garlic, minced

Optional garnish:

• sesame seeds
• green onions, chopped

Directions

I start by seasoning the salmon cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

I heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the salmon pieces for a few minutes on each side until they are golden and cooked through. Then I remove them from the pan and set them aside.

In the same pan, I combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. I let the mixture simmer briefly until it thickens into a glaze.

I return the salmon to the pan and toss it gently in the glaze until each piece is well coated.

I remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top before serving.
