Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds salmon, cut into 1 inch strips or chunks
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan (or flour)
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Hot Honey:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2–3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1/2 – 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper, to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Green onions, cilantro, or thyme, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450° F. Rub a sheet pan with oil.
- On the sheet pan, add the salmon strips/chunks, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and parmesan (or flour). Gently toss the salmon to coat. Add oil or butter. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is crispy on top.
- Just before the salmon is done cooking, make the sauce. In a sauce pot, warm together all hot honey ingredients. Do not boil.
- Drizzle the warm sauce over the salmon or serve the sauce on the side to drizzle. If the sauce thickens, gently warm it on the stove. Sprinkle with sea salt/herbs. Enjoy!
Notes
Start with less cayenne if you prefer mild heat. Fresh herbs on top add a bright finish.
