The Best Teriyaki Salmon Bites Recipe

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat add the avocado oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until aromatic, a minute or so.

Step 2

Add the tamari, miso paste, chili flakes, and apricot jam or honey. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until combined.

Step 3

Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce until slightly thickened and the sauce coats the back of a spoon nicely, 12 minutes (the sauce should look like honey).

Step 4

Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and season well with pepper. Allow the sauce to cool until just warm (the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools).

Step 5

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Add the bok choy and shiitakes and allow to cook until tender and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a platter and set aside until ready to serve.

Step 6

In the same nonstick skillet, add the avocado oil over medium-low heat.

Step 7

Season the salmon cubes with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet for 5 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.

Step 8

Pour over the teriyaki sauce and gently stir to coat. Continue cooking another 10 minutes until the sauce caramelizes onto the salmon cubes and the salmon is fully cooked through.

Step 9

Serve the salmon bites over the bok choy and shiitakes and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with brown rice as desired.
