Whichever technique you decide to use, just remember, salmon cooks fast, especially when cut into bite size pieces. And in order to get that beautiful crust on the exterior, you need to use high heat.

Salmon Bites Ingredients

Soy Sauce (or Tamari Sauce )- This is your saltiness in the dish. Tamari is a great alternative to soy sauce if you are looking for a gluten-free recipe. You can also use gluten free soy sauce.

Honey- This ingredient adds the much needed sweetness that will balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce. It will also help create the perfect crust on the salmon which gives a great texture to the fish. 

Garlic- Fresh garlic is recommended in this dish and compliments the other flavors in the marinade so well. You can also use store bought minced garlic if you're in a pinch for time. Garlic powder can also be used, but it is last on my list.

Fresh Ginger- Fresh ginger is a must for its spicy, unmistakable taste that is a staple in Asian-inspired dishes.

Black Pepper- Black pepper adds a little kick to the flavor of the marinade. 

Salmon Fillet- It’s always recommended when purchasing any kind of fish to buy the highest quality fish you can afford, for added health benefits. Wild Alaskan Salmon is a wonderful choice and contains an abundance of healthy fats. 

But whatever you find will taste great. 

Fresh or frozen salmon can be used in this recipe. Just thaw the frozen salmon completely before soaking it in the marinade.

How To Make Salmon Bites

A few easy steps is all you need to make these delicious salmon bites.

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; set aside.
2. Combine soy sauce (or tamari sauce), honey, garlic, ginger, and cracked pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
3. Add the salmon pieces to the marinade and toss/stir until the salmon is evenly coated. Let the salmon bites marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, tossing/stirring half way through.
4. After the salmon has marinated, move the oven baking rack so it's about 4 inches from the heating element inside your oven, and preheat your oven broiler.
5. Place the salmon pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the salmon.
6. Broil the salmon bites in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes, and then turn each piece over and broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Exact broil time will depend on how thick your salmon is.
7. Remove the salmon bites from the oven and allow them to sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

Tips for Storing Salmon Bites
