I love making this sticky and sweet salmon teriyaki, and cutting the salmon into small cubes means that there are more sticky corners where the sugar from the honey can caramelise on the fish. It also means that you can cook the salmon in 10 minutes so dinner can be served quicker!
In the UK we don’t consume enough oily fish, and I think one of the major barriers to this is that people don’t like the taste of fish. Therefore, I think if we can make a really delicious recipe using fish, yes with some added sugars, then there are still going to be benefits gained from this.
