Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
- Add the salmon pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- After marinating, remove the salmon from the fridge and sprinkle cornstarch, black pepper, and salt over the pieces. Toss gently to coat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon pieces in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Fry the salmon bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve the crispy salmon bites warm, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute the salmon with chicken breast for a different protein option, adjusting cooking time as necessary.
