-
Scatter with the sesame seeds and spring onions.
Tips for Success
- Cut the cubes evenly.
- Keep half the sauce for the end.
- If your oven runs hot, check at 7 minutes.
- Watch the tray at the end as honey burns.
Behind the Recipe
Sweet, hot and sticky: the honey and sriracha glaze is a trick of balance, and salmon is a fish that can carry it. Cut into bites, the fish takes more sauce per mouthful, and it cooks in minutes.
Cut skinless salmon into 3 cm cubes, which are large enough not to dry out and small enough to cook quickly. Whisk the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic and lime juice. Toss the salmon in half of the sauce and keep the rest for the end.
Spread the bites on a lined tray with space between them and cook at 220°C for 8 minutes. Brush with the remaining sauce and cook for 2 minutes more, until the edges catch and darken. If your oven runs hot, check at 7 minutes.
The sugar can scorch quickly, so watch the tray at the end. Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onion and serve on skewers or over rice.
What to Put Next to It
Steamed rice · Cucumber salad · Edamame · Noodles
Swaps and Variations
- Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.
- Lemon is the everyday swap for lime in this kind of dish — the acidity plays the same role even though the flavour is not identical.
- An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.
