Oh yes—Sweet Chili Salmon Bites are tender, flavorful, and perfect as an appetizer or main dish! 🍣🔥 Here’s a simple recipe:
Sweet Chili Salmon Bites
Ingredients (serves 2–4):
- 1 lb (450 g) salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for pan-searing)
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions, lime wedges
Instructions
- Marinate salmon:
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Add salmon cubes and gently toss to coat. Marinate 15–20 minutes.
- Cook salmon:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add salmon cubes and sear 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Serve:
- Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle extra sweet chili sauce over the top.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and lime wedges.
Pro tips:
- Don’t overcook salmon—it should remain moist inside.
- For an oven version, bake at 400°F / 200°C for 8–10 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a full meal.
I can also give an air fryer version that’s quick, crispy, and keeps the salmon perfectly tender. Do you want that version?
