Method

Prep the salmon

If needed, cut the Salmon into bite-size cubes, then pat the pieces dry with paper towels so they brown nicely. Mince the Garlic and split it into two small piles, thinly slice the Green Onion and save a little for garnish, and juice the Lime.

Make the glaze

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Olive Oil, one pile of minced garlic, Honey, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, Salt, and Paprika until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture looks glossy. Spoon out a few tablespoons and keep them aside for the finish.

Marinate the salmon

Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and toss until every piece is coated in the glaze. Let them sit for 10 minutes while you make the mayo sauce in the next step.

Mix the mayo

In a small bowl, stir together the Mayonnaise, the lime juice, Sriracha Sauce, and the second pile of minced garlic until smooth and creamy. Set it aside while you sear the salmon.

Sear and glaze

Heat the Neutral Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Lift the salmon out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and add it in a single layer with a little space between the cubes. Sear for 2 minutes without moving it, flip, and sear for 2 minutes more until the edges are golden and the tops look opaque. Add the Unsalted Butter and the reserved glaze, then spoon the bubbling sauce over the salmon for 1 minute until it turns sticky and glossy.

Plate and garnish

Transfer the salmon to plates, drizzle with the spicy mayo, and finish with the sliced green onion. Spoon over any extra glaze from the pan and serve right away.
