Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes. Ensure all pieces are uniform for even cooking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
3. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, tossing gently until coated. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Spread salmon cubes in a single layer and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove from the oven, rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Cut salmon evenly to ensure even cooking.
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust the marinade before adding the salmon.
Let salmon rest after baking to keep it moist.
