1. Start by preparing the salmon. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Next, season the salmon cubes generously with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Once seasoned, toss the salmon pieces in cornstarch until they are lightly coated.

3. Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the salmon bites in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown.

4. For the honey garlic sauce, whisk together minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until well combined.

5. Once your salmon bites are crispy, pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the salmon. Toss gently to ensure the bites are evenly coated.
