These Hot Honey Salmon Bites are a perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors pairing tender, juicy salmon with a smoky seasoning and a drizzle of hot honey. Baked to perfection and finished under the broiler for a golden, caramelized glaze, this dish makes for a quick and delicious meal that pairs wonderfully with rice, avocado, and fresh cucumbers.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 pounds salmon fillet, skin on or off, cut into 1-2 inch pieces

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup hot honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Season Salmon: Place the salmon bites in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, then toss again carefully to distribute the seasonings without breaking the pieces.
  3. Bake Salmon: Arrange the seasoned salmon pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to cook through.
  4. Add Hot Honey and Broil: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, pile the salmon pieces together gently with a spatula, drizzle with hot honey, and stir to coat evenly. Spread the salmon back into a single layer and place under the broiler until the salmon is golden brown and caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, optionally with sides such as rice, sliced avocado, cucumbers, and an extra drizzle of hot honey for added flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of hot honey or use regular honey instead.
  • Watch the broiler carefully; salmon can burn quickly.
  • You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika if needed, though smoked adds a nice depth of flavor.
  • Skin-on salmon can be used; skin helps keep moisture but can be removed before serving if preferred.
