Instructions
Prep the Salmon
Pat salmon cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on all sides. Dry salmon is essential for getting a good sear and caramelized exterior.
Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch until fully combined and the cornstarch is dissolved with no lumps.
Sear the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon cubes in a single layer and do not move them for 2 minutes to build a golden crust. Flip and sear the other side for 1 minute.
Add the Glaze
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the seared salmon bites. Toss gently to coat and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and caramelizes around each piece.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed white rice or alongside roasted broccoli.
