Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb boneless salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 Tbsp honey, adjust to taste
  • 2-3 Tbsp hot sauce, adjust to taste, I use Frank's Red Hot
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 lime, for juicing, adjust to taste

To serve (optional)

  • rice, edamame, green onion

Equipment

  • baking sheet

Instructions
 

  • Position your oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 425 F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside (see notes for air fryer instructions).
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add salmon, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Spread salmon bites evenly over the parchment-lined pan. Make sure they're spread out with no overlap.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your liking. Finish under the broiler for 1-3 minutes for some extra crisp, but watch them closely to prevent burning.
  • When your salmon is done cooking, prepare your hot honey. Add honey, hot sauce, and butter to a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Stirring occasionally, heat this mixture until the butter is melted and everything is combined. Taste, and adjust ingredients as needed.
  • Pour hot honey over the salmon and gently toss with tongs. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Serve your salmon bites with rice, shelled edamame, green onions, and/or other toppings as desired. Spoon extra hot honey from the pan over your plate. Enjoy!

Notes

Air fryer instructions: Pre-heat your air fryer to 400 F according to manufacturer's directions. Bake your salmon for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and lightly golden. Make sure not to over-crowd the air fryer. Once the salmon is cooked, transfer your salmon bites to a large mixing bowl to toss with hot honey.
