Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets (skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the salmon by patting the fillets dry and cutting them into even bite-sized pieces.
