Chili Lime Salmon Bites with Mango Slaw
These are the best chili lime salmon bites! Smoky, savory, buttery salmon chunks served over crispy and refreshing mango salsa - it's the perfect summer dinner or a hot day!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon, cut into chunks
- 1 ½ tablespoons tajin seasoning, or any chili lime seasoning
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- herby summer sauce, optional
- jasmine rice, optional
mango slaw
- 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 mango, thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, plus more for sprinkling
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Season the salmon chunks all over with the tajin, using more if desired.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon pieces in a single layer (you may have to do this in a double batch so they all fit). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until deeply golden brown. Flip each piece of salmon and cook on the other side until golden.
- Whisk together the honey and water until combined. Pour it into the skillet and cook until it’s bubbling. Let it simmer and bubble for 1 to 2 more minutes before turning off the heat.
- Serve the salmon bites over the mango slaw, adding rice if you’d like. Sprinkle of more fresh cilantro.

- Place the cabbage, mango, red onion and cilantro in a large bowl. Whisk together the lime juice olive oil with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Season the slaw all over with salt and pepper too. Pour the dressing over the slaw, tossing it together. Let it sit for 5 minutes and toss it again. Use it as the base for your salmon bites.
