# Ingredients:
For the salmon
01 -
1 1/2 lb (680 g) skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 -
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 -
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 -
2 tablespoons cornstarch
06 -
2 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
For the honey garlic glaze
07 -
1/3 cup (115 g) honey
08 -
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
09 -
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
10 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice
11 -
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
12 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
13 -
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
14 -
2 green onions, thinly sliced
# Instructions:
01 -
Pat the salmon very dry, remove any pin bones, and cut it into even 1-inch cubes.
02 -
Toss the salmon with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cornstarch until lightly coated on all sides.
03 -
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon in one layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side until golden and nearly cooked through. Work in batches if needed.
04 -
In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes until combined.
05 -
Transfer the salmon to a plate. Lower the heat to medium-low, pour in the glaze, and simmer for 1-2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
06 -
Return the salmon to the skillet and gently toss for 30-60 seconds until coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, then serve immediately.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served over rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
02 -
Use a wide skillet so the salmon sears instead of steaming.
03 -
Cook salmon to 145°F or until it flakes easily with a fork.
