These Teriyaki Salmon Bites are juicy, flavorful, and quick to make with a homemade teriyaki sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep, this healthy dish is gluten-free, paleo, and packed with protein.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other high heat oil)
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
  • 1 tbsp water (to mix with starch)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix arrowroot starch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add salmon cubes in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through. Remove salmon and set aside.
  5. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return salmon to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon fillet for best results.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even browning.
  • You can prep the sauce ahead of time for quicker cooking.
  • Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
