Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Bites
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (halal-certified)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add the salmon cubes and mix gently to coat. Let this marinate for about 10 minutes while preparing the next steps.
Coating the Salmon
  1. After marinating, sprinkle the cornstarch over the salmon pieces and toss them to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown on that side, then gently flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour any leftover marinade over the salmon bites during the last minute of cooking to enhance the flavors.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat and serve your delicious Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon Bites hot, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

For substitutions, consider using another type of fish or halal chicken cut into similar bite-sized pieces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for the best texture.
