1.5 lbs salmon fillet (skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp ginger (freshly grated)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp green onions (sliced)
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Toss the salmon cubes with salt, pepper, and cornstarch until lightly coated.
Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Pour the sauce over the salmon, lower the heat, and stir gently. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Notes
Ensure salmon is patted dry and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve crispy bites. Adjust sweetness with honey as desired.
