How to make Honey Garlic Salmon Bites

Tips from the cook

  • Pat the salmon dry before seasoning, so it sears instead of steaming.
  • Leave the bites alone for the first 2 minutes, so they release from the pan without breaking.
  • Let the sauce thicken in the butter before returning the salmon, so it coats instead of running off.
  • Toss gently in the glaze, as salmon flakes easily.
