Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound salmon fillet skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce such as Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or foil
  • Large bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon cubes and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange the salmon cubes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the salmon is baking, prepare the hot honey glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and transfer the bites to a serving dish. Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the salmon bites and gently toss to coat.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a milder version, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or use a milder hot sauce.
• Avoid overcooking the salmon to prevent it from becoming dry.
• Serve these bites with toothpicks for easy eating at parties.
Food Safety:
• Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days
