For the Salmon Bites

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Garlic Salmon Bites
  1. Start by patting the salmon dry with a paper towel to ensure a nice sear. Season both sides generously with kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Let it sit for about 5 minutes while you gather the other ingredients.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil, allowing it to shimmer.
  4. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down, and let it cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it.
  5. Gently flip the salmon using a fish spatula and pour the glaze directly into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon.
  6. Once done, remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle remaining glaze on top and serve warm.
