Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    Marinate: In a bowl, combine the hot honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the salmon cubes, gently tossing to coat them evenly. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

        Bake the Salmon: Arrange the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

          Broil for Extra Crispiness: For a crispier finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

            Serve: Remove the salmon bites from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the bites.
