Ingredients
  

1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispier texture.

    Coat the Salmon: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge each piece of salmon in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess flour.

      Sauté the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the salmon bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (be careful not to burn it). Then, add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pan, stirring well to combine. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Coat the Salmon Bites: Return the crispy salmon bites to the skillet and toss them in the honey garlic sauce until well coated. Let them cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are heated through.

            Serve the Dish: Remove from heat and plate the salmon bites. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
