Teriyaki Salmon Bites

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lb salmon (skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 2 teaspoons chopped chives

Steps

1. 1

   Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel and set them aside.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients to prepare the teriyaki sauce: soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Place the salmon cubes in the bowl and pour approximately 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   While the salmon is marinating, heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Take the remaining sauce mixture and add a teaspoon of sesame seeds to a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a boil, and allow it to slightly thicken.

5. 5

   Add the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip them and continue cooking until the salmon is completely cooked through.

6. 6

   Once done, garnish the salmon cubes with sesame seeds and chives. Serve the salmon cubes over the rice and enjoy.
