Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Salmon
- Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear Salmon Bites: Add the salmon pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon bites and toss gently to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the salmon.
Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables
- Sauté Vegetables: In another pan, add a splash of sesame oil (if using) and sauté the mixed vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowl
- Serve: In bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa, followed by the sautéed vegetables and honey garlic salmon bites.
- Garnish: Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
