Chef's Pro-Tips
- Mise en Place: Measure and prep all ingredients before you turn on the stove. This recipe moves quickly, and having everything ready prevents burning.
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, whole garlic cloves, and fresh herbs instead of dried/jarred versions. The flavor difference is huge!
- Pat Dry: Moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Always pat proteins (like chicken, fish, or tofu) completely dry with paper towels before placing them in the hot pan.
Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions
Season the Salmon
Cut the salmon into 1-inch uniform cubes. Toss with garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until evenly coated.
Sear in Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon cubes for 2 minutes per side until they develop a golden, crispy crust. Do not crowd the pan.
Glaze and Serve
Reduce heat to low. Add the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to the pan, tossing the salmon bites until the sauce bubbles and reduces into a thick glaze. Garnish with green onions.
