Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb salmon skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel and season them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour about a tablespoon of oil and massage the salmon cubes.
  • Heat a heavy skillet with a tablespoon of oil, add the salmon cubes in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes by flipping them often until crispy and golden. Transfer the cooked crispy salmon cubes to a plate and cook the remaining salmon.
  • To the same skillet add the remaining oil and add garlic and ginger, saute for a minute.
  • Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.

Notes

  • Dry the salmon with paper towels to get rid of any extra moisture. 
  • Cube the salmon into even pieces for even cooking. 
  • Gently toss the salmon with seasoning until all the pieces are well coated. 
  • Add cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend to give the salmon a spicy kick. 
  • Allow the salmon to marinate in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes to an hour if you have time.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. 
  • Easily make this in the air fryer. Preheat to 390 degrees and cook for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through. 
  • You can also make this recipe with cubes of chicken or shrimp. Adjust the cooking times accordingly.
