2 tablespoons rice vinegar
¼ cup honey

Instructions
1. Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel and season them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour about a tablespoon of oil and massage the salmon cubes.
2. Heat a heavy skillet with a tablespoon of oil, add the salmon cubes in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes by flipping them often until crispy and golden. Transfer the cooked crispy salmon cubes to a plate and cook the remaining salmon.

4. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.

Notes
Dry the salmon with paper towels to get rid of any extra moisture.
Cube the salmon into even pieces for even cooking.
Gently toss the salmon with seasoning until all the pieces are well coated.
Add cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend for a spicy kick.
Allow the salmon to marinate in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes if you have time.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
Air fryer method: 390 degrees, 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway.
