Ingredients

Sauce

• 1 tbsp miso paste
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp yuzu honey
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp gochujang
• ½ tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ tsp ground ginger

Salmon

• 500 g salmon, cut into large cubes
• Olive oil, for cooking

Garnish

• Sesame seeds
• Chopped scallions

Steps

1. Whisk sauce – In a bowl, combine miso, soy sauce, yuzu honey, sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
2. Cube salmon – Cut salmon into large, even pieces for quick, uniform cooking.
3. Heat skillet – Preheat pan to medium-high and coat with olive oil until shimmering.
4. Sear first side – Place salmon cubes clockwise in the pan, searing for 2 minutes.
5. Turn carefully – Flip cubes with tongs to sear the second side.
6. Glaze with sauce – Pour sauce over salmon, searing the bottom side for 1 minute.
7. Toss gently – Stir to coat each cube evenly as sauce thickens.
8. Check doneness – Cook until salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
9. Rest briefly – Remove from heat and let salmon sit for 2 minutes before plating.

Plating

• Serve salmon bites over rice or grains.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds and scallions on top.
• Drizzle with extra sauce for added richness.

TwoFoodies Tips

• Add a splash of mirin for a more complex glaze.
• Increase gochujang or sprinkle red pepper flakes for more heat.
• Try air-frying salmon cubes at 200°C (390°F) for ~7–8 minutes for a crispy texture.
