Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds salmon fillets, skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the salmon pieces to the marinade and let them soak for about 5 minutes.
- While the salmon marinates, heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated salmon to coat evenly.
- Once the oil is hot, add the coated salmon bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until crispy and golden brown.
