Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon for this recipe, but make sure to thaw it completely before preparation. Fresh salmon will result in a better texture and flavor, but if you only have frozen salmon, just ensure it's fully defrosted and patted dry to remove excess moisture.

What can I substitute for honey?

If you need a substitute for honey, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar, which will yield similar sweetness. Keep in mind that these alternatives may slightly alter the flavor of the glaze but will still keep it delicious.

How can I make this recipe lower in sodium?

To make the recipe lower in sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce. Additionally, you can reduce the amount of soy sauce used and compensate with other flavors, such as additional honey or garlic.

Can I add vegetables to this recipe?

Absolutely! You can toss in some bell peppers, zucchini, or snow peas with the salmon bites before baking. Make sure to cut them into similar sizes as the salmon for even cooking.

What is the best way to store leftover salmon bites?

To store leftovers, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results to maintain their crispiness.
