The trick is to use a cast iron skillet!!
I made this on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2022. It was AWESOME!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 to 4 salmon filets, cut into cubes (about 1 to 2 inch cubes)
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Stir together the honey, water and garlic. Set it aside. We really love this sticky sauce and sometimes I double it. If you want extra sauce, I suggest doubling it too! ⅔ cup honey + ¼ cup water + 3 or 4 garlic cloves.
- Pat the salmon completely dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into cubes, making sure the pieces are uniform in size. It doesn’t matter if they are big or small - but make sure they are all roughly the same size so they cook in the same amount of time.
- Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Let it heat for a good 5 to 6 minutes so it’s hot. Add the butter and let it melt and sizzle - it will almost instantly brown. This is good!
- Add the salmon in a single layer. Cook on one side until very deep golden brown and seared. Flip each salmon piece. Cook for 1 minute so the salmon gets brown on the other side.
- Pour the honey mixture into the skillet. It should bubble and sizzle all around the salmon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting it bubble and thicken and get sticky.
