Honey Garlic Butter Salmon Bites

This dish features small pieces of salmon that are sautéed in a honey garlic butter sauce until golden and caramelized. The cooking method involves pan-searing to develop a crispy exterior while maintaining tender, flaky fish inside. The final result is a savory, glazed bite-sized seafood dish with a rich, glossy appearance.
