Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)

2 large eggs, beaten

1/3 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh scallions, diced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions
 

Prep the Salmon: Begin by cutting the salmon fillet into small bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy when cooked.

    Set Up Dredging Stations: In one bowl, add the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, place the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt.

      Coat the Salmon Bites: Take each piece of salmon and coat it in the flour first, tapping off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by rolling it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside.

        Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Fry the Salmon Bites: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded salmon bites in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

            Combine with Sauce: In a large bowl, toss the crispy salmon bites with the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the honey garlic salmon bites to a serving platter. Garnish with diced fresh scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crispy, either by themselves or over a bed of rice for a fulfilling meal!
