Description

High-protein, bite-sized Atlantic salmon cubes get a smoky-spiced crust before being glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. The golden, crispy exterior contrasts with tender, flakey fish for a balanced texture, perfect as a quick weeknight meal or appetizer.

1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder

3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
2 tsp minced fresh garlic
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
3 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
