Ginger Soy Salmon Bites
These ginger-soy salmon bites are perfectly cooked under the broiler and finished with a sweet ginger glaze. These poppable bites are an ideal appetizer for a get-together with friends, or turn them into a main dish by serving them alongside veggies or as part of a grain bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound center-cut skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons thinly sliced chives
Directions
- Whisk 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, mirin and garlic powder in a medium bowl until smooth. Add salmon pieces; mix until well coated. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position oven rack 4 inches from heat source; preheat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Arrange the salmon pieces on the prepared pan; discard any remaining marinade. Broil until cooked through and browned around the edges, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine honey, water, ginger and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Brush the ginger-soy mixture over the salmon pieces. Transfer the salmon pieces to a platter; sprinkle with sesame seeds and chives.
