Salmon Bites with Wasabi Mayo

skewered salmon bites on a tray topped with wasabi mayo and fresh cilantro
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  30 min
  • Cook Time:  5 min

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon (thickest cut, if possible)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce

Wasabi Mayo

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp wasabi paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Carefully remove the skin from the salmon filets * and cut salmon into 2 inch pieces.
  2. In a medium sized bowl combine brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Toss salmon pieces in the same bowl along with sauce and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  3. In a large skillet heat the oil over med-high heat. Thread the salmon pieces onto metal skewers (or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes) and place the salmon skewers into the pan. Allow to sear without moving them, about 2 minutes. Flip them over and sear them for two minutes on the other side. This may need to be done in batches depending on the size of your pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the mayo, wasabi paste and lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Serve the salmon skewers with extra sauce, dipped in the wasabi aioli. If you're looking for a side dish to go with this try our bok choy or perfect broccoli!

*If your salmon came from the seafood section at your local grocery store, have your butcher remove the skin for you before packaging.
