Description
Tender salmon skewers brushed with a glossy honey garlic butter glaze, broiled until lightly caramelized, and served over fluffy jasmine rice with fresh green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil on high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, and olive oil until smooth.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
- Thread the salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces. Brush lightly with some of the glaze and place the skewers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil for 4 minutes, remove the pan, and brush with more glaze. Return to the oven and broil for another 4 to 6 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through, lightly caramelized, and flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the skewers rest for 2 minutes, then brush with any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the sliced green onions.
- Serve the skewers hot over cooked jasmine rice.
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before glazing for better browning.
- Cut the salmon into even pieces so it cooks at the same rate.
- Watch the broiler closely because the honey in the glaze can brown quickly.
- For extra brightness, add a squeeze of lemon just before serving.
