- 1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro or green onions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, honey, lime zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the salmon cubes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat.
- Pour half of the prepared glaze over the salmon cubes and toss until they are lightly coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
- Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and brush the tops of the salmon bites with the reserved glaze.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is sticky.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with cilantro or green onions before serving immediately.
Notes
- For an air fryer method, cook the salmon bites at 380°F (195°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through cooking.
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey if you prefer.
- These bites pair well served over rice or alongside a simple green salad.
