Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh skinless and deboned salmon fillet

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

Chopped green onions and sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Begin by cutting the fresh salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, each approximately 1 inch in size. To enhance crispiness during frying, pat the cubes dry thoroughly with paper towels.

    Set Up Dredging Stations: In a shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This creates your dredging station for coating the salmon bites.

      Coat the Salmon: Take one salmon cube and first dip it into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, transfer the piece into the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Place each coated salmon bite on a plate and continue the process until all pieces are coated.

        Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer gently. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes while stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

          Fry the Salmon Bites: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated salmon bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry each side for approximately 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

            Toss with Sauce: After frying all the salmon bites, place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared honey garlic sauce over the top and gently toss to ensure each piece is well coated.

              Garnish and Serve: Serve the crispy honey garlic salmon bites hot from the skillet, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
