Method
 

Cooking Process
  1. Pat salmon dry and cut into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon cubes for 2-3 minutes until charred and crispy.
  4. Flip cubes, add sauce, and cook for 2 more minutes until glaze is thick and bubbly.

Notes

Ensure the pan is very hot before adding salmon to get those crispy edges.
Patting the fish dry is essential for a good sear.
