Ingredients

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb fresh salmon, skin removed and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic, grated (about 2 cloves)
  • 2 tsp ginger, grated (about 1 inch knob)
  • 1 tbsp fresh scallions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting your salmon bites.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the cubed salmon with sriracha, honey, kosher salt, olive oil, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Toss everything gently to coat the salmon pieces evenly with the flavorful marinade.
  3. Arrange Salmon: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the marinated salmon cubes on the sheet pan, making sure the pieces are spaced apart so they roast evenly without steaming.
  4. Roast Salmon: Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 to 15 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on the size of the pieces; look for cooked-through salmon with slightly caramelized, golden edges.
  5. Serve: Once roasted, transfer the salmon bites to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh chopped scallions. Serve alongside steamed rice and marinated cucumbers for a complete, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon pieces are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute with a milder chili sauce.
  • Marinated cucumbers add a refreshing contrast, but you can serve with any side you like.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor impact.
  • You can prepare the marinade a few hours ahead and refrigerate for deeper flavor infusion.
