Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (for a subtle smoky flavor)
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp honey (for a sweet and savory touch)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1: Prepare the Salmon
Chop the salmon into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Make sure they’re evenly sized so they cook uniformly.
2: Mix the Marinade

In a small bowl, combine sesame oil, honey, chili garlic sauce, coconut aminos, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth and flavorful marinade.
3: Coat the Salmon


Add the salmon pieces to the bowl and toss them gently in the marinade. Make sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best flavor, let it marinate for a few hours if possible.
4: Choose Your Cooking Method

- Oven: Preheat to 400°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the marinated salmon pieces in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 350°F and cook the salmon for 10 minutes, shaking the basket at the 5-minute mark.
5: Serve the Salmon Bites

Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the oven or air fryer and sprinkle them with sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately while they’re warm. Pair them with rice, roasted vegetables, or a dipping sauce like spicy mayo or garlic aioli f
