For the ultimate flavor infusion, marinating your salmon bites is crucial. A marinating time of 30 minutes to 2 hours is ideal for allowing the honey mustard mixture to penetrate the fish. This timeframe ensures that the salmon absorbs the sweet and tangy flavors without becoming overly soft. If you marinate it for longer than 2 hours, the acidity from the mustard may start to break down the fish too much, resulting in a mushy texture.

Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until all the ingredients are well blended and the marinade is smooth.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the chopped salmon cubes in a separate medium bowl. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the salmon and gently fold the cubes with a spatula to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the salmon to absorb the flavors.

      Preheat the Oven: While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Bake the Salmon Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Carefully arrange the marinated salmon bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Set aside a couple of tablespoons of the marinade for later use. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

          Broil for Extra Glaze: To intensify the flavor and add a beautiful golden glaze, switch your oven to the broil setting. Broil the salmon bites for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

            Serve: Once done, remove the salmon bites from the oven. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the top for added flavor. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

              Enjoy: These savory Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon Bites can be enjoyed as a delectable appetizer or paired with your choice of side dishes for a delightful main course!
