Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil separated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ginger minced or grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos gluten-free Tamari or Soy sauce can work as well, or liquid aminos
- 1.25 pounds salmon fillet about 566 grams, wild, skinned and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 green onion large, chopped, optional for serving
- 1 avocado peeled and sliced, optional for serving
- 1 carrot peeled and cut into long thin ribbons, optional for serving

Instructions
- Combine honey, coconut aminos, paprika powder, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a bowl. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
- Melt two tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon. Sear for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until it easily releases from the pan and has browned sides. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Pour the reserved sauce mixture over the salmon in the pan. Cook and toss for another 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is somewhat caramelized and all the salmon is well coated.
- Assemble two bowls and divide the carrots and avocado slices. Serve the salmon bites on top. Garnish with sesame seeds and green chopped onions.

- Serving: This light dish is perfect for lunch or weeknight dinner. It's light and low-carb. But if you want a more substantial addition, feel free to serve it over a bed of your favorite cooked rice.
