🧄 Garlic Butter Salmon Bites with Lemon Dipping Sauce
Succulent salmon cubes are gently seared in aromatic garlic butter until lightly caramelized, then paired with a bright, citrus-forward dipping sauce. This preparation emphasizes controlled heat, precise searing, and balanced acidity for a polished yet approachable seafood dish.

🛒Ingredients :

Salmon Bites Ingredients:
1 pound salmon fillet, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels to promote proper searing. Season evenly with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:
