This delicious weeknight dinner comes together really quickly. IF YOU HAVEN'T tried pan frying your salmon, it's time to give it a try! Especially cubed up into little bites. The marinade is simple and the bites get perfectly charred when cooked on high heat. Only a couple minutes per side. I love to serve it with some pan fried crispy veggies like broccoli. You can serve the salmon and veggies over rice, cauliflower rice or even noodles. Our go to is jasmine rice...cooks pretty quickly and has a nice flavour to it. If I know that my evening will be rushed, I cook the rice and veggies ahead of time and cube/marinate the salmon and place it in the fridge. Then it only takes 10 minutes to cook. Easy-peasy!
