Honey Soy Glazed Salmon Bites Recipe

Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 20-25 minutes
Calories per Serving: 550

Ingredients:

1 boil-in-the-bag long grain rice
2 salmon fillets
30ml light soy sauce
35g runny honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp sesame seeds (plus extra for garnish)
5g light butter
30g lighter mayo
1 tsp sriracha sauce
2 tsp water
1 spring onion, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

Cook the Rice:
Start by preparing the rice. Bring a large pan of water to a boil and cook the rice according to the package instructions.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and chopped garlic. Set it aside for later.
Season the Salmon:
Sprinkle smoked paprika and garlic granules over the salmon fillets. Slice the salmon into bite-sized cubes.
Cook the Salmon:
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and hot, add the salmon cubes. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
Glaze the Salmon:
When the salmon is almost cooked, pour the prepared glaze into the pan, making sure to coat the salmon. Sprinkle half of the sesame seeds over the salmon. Let the glaze simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens and coats the salmon perfectly.
Make the Sriracha Mayo:
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, sriracha, and water. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more water if needed. This will be the creamy, spicy drizzle for your salmon bites!
Assemble the Dish:
Serve the glazed salmon bites over the cooked rice. Pour any remaining sauce over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced spring onions for that extra pop of flavor and crunch.
