2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon ground pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus more for garnish
1 lemon, juiced

Description

Position oven rack 6 inches from heat source; preheat broiler. Toss salmon pieces with 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic, ½ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Arrange the salmon pieces in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes.

Brush the hot honey mixture evenly over the salmon bites. Broil for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter; garnish with chives, crushed red pepper and/or hot honey, if desired.
