Description

Delicious bite-sized salmon nuggets coated in a honey garlic glaze, fried to golden perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets
  • 1/3 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (plus extra for coating)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prep your kitchen by gathering all ingredients and tools.
  2. Cut salmon fillets into 1-inch bite-sized nuggets.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Dredge each salmon nugget in the glaze mixture and coat with cornstarch for extra crunch.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and green onions on top before serving warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
  • For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the glaze.
