Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot honey, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      Arrange the Salmon Bites: After marinating, remove the salmon from the fridge. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the salmon bites to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even cooking.

        Bake: Bake the salmon bites in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If you prefer a bit of caramelization on top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

          Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
