Spicy Teriyaki Salmon Bites

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (cut into bite sized pieces)
• garlic powder (to taste)
• onion powder (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (for seasoning the salmon)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
• 1 tbsp butter (for searing the salmon)
• 1 tbsp butter (for the sauce)
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp honey (estimated for glaze consistency)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (for the sauce)
• 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce (estimated for glaze)
• green onion (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the 2 salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl and season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a splash of soy sauce.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the salmon bites to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan (or a clean one), melt another 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

5. 5

   Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Let the mixture simmer for a minute or two until it begins to thicken into a glaze.

6. 6

   Add the cooked salmon bites back into the pan and toss gently to coat every piece in the spicy teriyaki sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

The author mentions these are 'spicy' in the title, likely achieved through the teriyaki sauce blend or by adding a pinch of chili flakes or sriracha (though not explicitly listed in the ingredients). Serve over white rice or noodles for a complete meal.
