1 Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper or foil
1 Mixing bowl For marinating the salmon pieces
1 Knife To cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces
1 Spatula or Tongs For flipping the salmon bites
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For marinating the salmon
- 1 lb Salmon fillet Cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp Garlic powder Adds depth of flavor
- ½ tsp Paprika For a smoky, slightly sweet taste
- ¼ tsp Black pepper Adjust to taste
- ¼ tsp Salt Adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed, for zest
Optional Additions
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce For a bit of umami flavor
- 1 tsp Fresh Dill For a touch of freshness
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss in the salmon bites and coat them evenly. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2 tbsp Olive oil, 1 tsp Garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Paprika, 1/4 tsp Black pepper, 1/4 tsp Salt
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated salmon bites on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
1 lb Salmon fillet
Once baked, drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy flavor. Sprinkle with fresh dill, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of greens.
