🧑🍳 How to Make Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Bites with Coconut Lime Rice & Papaya Salad:
Step 1: Cook the Coconut Lime Rice:
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, rice, lime zest, lime juice, and salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Bites:
In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the salmon bites to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, basting them with the honey glaze as they cook, until caramelized and cooked through.
Squeeze lime juice over the salmon and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Papaya Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the diced papaya, cucumber, red onion, and fresh herbs.
Drizzle with lime juice and honey, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently until everything is evenly mixed.
🥣 Assemble the Dish:
Spoon the coconut lime rice onto each plate.
Top with the spicy honey glazed salmon bites.
Add a serving of papaya salad on the side.
Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro or mint for a refreshing burst of flavor.
