Honey Garlic Salmon Bites with Broccoli: Sticky, Sweet & Garlicky in 25 Minutes

Why it works

Salmon bites cook in minutes, so the glaze — honey, garlic, and soy sauce — caramelizes in the pan instead of sliding off. Cubing the fillet first means every piece gets coated, every piece browns, and dinner is on the table in 25 minutes with 40g of protein per serving.

The recipe

Ingredients

• 1½ lb salmon fillet, cut into cubes
• 3 tbsp honey · 3 cloves garlic, minced · 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 tbsp sesame oil · sesame seeds + green onions, to top
• Rice, to serve

Steps

1. Toss salmon cubes with half the honey-garlic-soy glaze and sear in a hot oiled pan, 2–3 min per side, until glazed and cooked through.
2. Steam or roast the broccoli until just tender.
3. Serve salmon bites over rice with broccoli, drizzle with remaining glaze, and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
