Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes (about 1-2 inches).

      Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, hot honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.

        Coat the Salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and gently toss them in the hot honey mixture, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated salmon bites evenly in a single layer on the sheet.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

              Finish with Lemon: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

                Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salmon bites to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve them with lemon wedges on the side.
