Instructions

Season the salmon cubes with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon cubes and sear on each side for about 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Return the salmon bites to the pan and spoon the sauce over them.
Garnish with fresh chopped chives before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender inside.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
Serve over rice, quinoa, or salad greens for a complete meal.
Best served immediately to maintain the crispy texture.
