Hot Honey Salmon Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons hot honey
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For Serving

08 - Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
09 - Lemon wedges for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, hot honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.
04 - Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and gently toss until they are fully coated. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
05 - Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated salmon bites onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for even cooking.
06 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra caramelization, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but keep a close eye on them.
07 - Once done, remove the salmon bites from the oven. Drizzle a little extra hot honey on top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze.

# Notes:

01 - You can adjust the amount of hot honey based on your preferred spice level. The salmon bites make an excellent appetizer or can be served as a main dish with sides.
