Small salmon cubes roast quickly under a peppery honey glaze. Lemon juice keeps the sticky edges bright, with enough heat to linger after each bite.
Cutting the fish into even cubes makes Hot Honey Salmon Bites quick to cook and easy to coat. The honey goes on near the end, where it turns tacky without spending long enough in the oven to burn.
Choose a thick, skinless piece of salmon and dry it before seasoning. Leave space between the cubes; crowded pieces release moisture into each other and lose their lightly browned corners.
Method
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the salmon cubes dry and toss with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Arrange on a parchment-lined sheet pan with gaps between the pieces.
Roast for until the edges begin to turn opaque. Meanwhile, stir honey, red pepper flakes and lemon juice together.
Brush the honey mixture over the cubes and roast for another until the salmon reaches 145°F and flakes easily. Gently turn the bites through the glaze on the tray before serving.
Forkue tips
- Use the thick center section of a fillet for cubes that finish at the same time.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Warm covered at 300°F (150°C) just until hot, or serve the cold bites over a crunchy salad. High heat on reheating can burn the honey.
