Teriyaki Salmon Bites

For as long as I can remember salmon has always been my go-to fish meal. There is just something about the meaty texture of salmon on a bed of fluffy rice. This dish that I have created combines my love for salmon with my love for Asian food using staple aromatics often found in Asian cuisine.

In this recipe I will be showing you how to make my surprisingly easy one-pot sweet yet sour, sticky, garlicky, gingery, teriyaki bites of salmon deliciousness. This dish can be enjoyed with either rice, noodles, or even by itself as an appetizer.

  • 2 Boneless salmon fillets

  • 3 Minced garlic cloves

  • Minced thumb of ginger

Method | Prep: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes

1. Rinse and pat dry salmon with a kitchen towel. Using a sharp knife cut salmon into large-sized cubes. Place cubed salmon into a bowl then season with salt and pepper. Set salmon aside to prepare the teriyaki marinade.

2. In a bowl mix soy sauce, honey and chilli flakes together until fully combined then set aside marinade.

3. Heat nonstick pan on medium-low and lightly cover pan with oil. Fry minced garlic and ginger till slightly brown.

4. Increase pan to medium-high heat and add the marinade. Cook Marinade until sauce thickens.

5. Add Salmon flesh side down to the pan. After 5 minutes turn salmon around skin side down. Using a spoon coat salmon with the sauce created in the pan. *If sauce has become too thick add water to loosen it up.

6. Squeeze lime onto salmon then place lid on pan and allow it to fry for an additional 5 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your liking.

7. Serve salmon over noodles or on kebab sticks and add garnish.
