Instructions
- 1
Dice the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together minced ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
~3 min - 3
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, toss gently to coat, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
~15 min - 4
While the salmon marinates, prepare the mango salsa. Dice the ripe mango, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and mince the jalapeno (seeds removed for less heat).
~10 min - 5
In a small bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir gently.
~2 min - 6
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
~2 min - 7
Remove salmon from the marinade (discard the excess marinade) and sear the salmon bites for 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
~6 min - 8
Serve the ginger-lime glazed salmon bites immediately with the fresh mango salsa on the side or spooned over the top.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mango salsa.
- Leftover salmon bites and salsa can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salsa is best enjoyed fresh.
