Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)

1 tablespoon lime juice

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Start by cutting the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes. Make sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

    Season the Salmon: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add the salmon bites and gently toss until they are well coated in the seasoning mixture. Let the salmon marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature.

      Make Hot Honey Sauce: While the salmon is marinating, prepare the hot honey sauce by whisking together honey, Sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust Sriracha according to your desired spice level.

        Cook the Salmon Bites: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon bites in a single layer (working in batches if necessary). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and just cooked through.

          Glaze the Bites: Reduce the heat to low and pour the hot honey sauce over the cooked salmon. Toss gently to coat the salmon pieces, allowing them to soak in the sweet and spicy flavors for about 1-2 minutes.

            Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as an appetizer or over a bed of rice or salad for a delightful main dish.
