Maple Salmon Bites
Salmon bites are the perfect addition to stir-fry, grain bowls, or salads. They’re so easy to make and get that perfect crisp on all sides.
These maple glazed salmon bites are sweet, slightly spicy, and are delicious over rice. They’re lightly seasoned and pan-fried, then cooked in the simplest maple sriracha glaze.
Salmon and rice is one of my favorite comfort meals during the week. It’s a great way to pack in omega-3 fats and protein, and can be prepared in endless amounts of ways.
