Lemon Garlic Salmon Bites

These marinated salmon bites make a quick crowd-pleasing appetizer. Pink peppercorns offer a bit of spice and a slightly floral flavor, but freshly ground black peppercorns work well too. (Since black pepper has a stronger flavor, you’ll need just a quarter of the amount.) This appetizer can be served with toothpicks and a light creamy sauce for dipping, or as a main dish served on a bed of brown rice. Leftovers can be used to top a green salad or stuffed into pita bread with lettuce and tzatziki for an easy sandwich.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pink peppercorns or 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium lemon, cut into 8 wedges (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

  1. Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, garlic, ground pepper and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium nonreactive bowl until emulsified, about 30 seconds. Add salmon; toss until evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate, uncovered, at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Position oven rack 4 inches from heat source; preheat broiler. Line a broiler-safe baking sheet with foil. Arrange the salmon pieces in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet; drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place lemon wedges on the baking sheet, if using.
  3. Broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145°F, 5 to 7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the salmon pieces to a serving platter. If using, squeeze the broiled lemon wedges over the salmon. Sprinkle with parsley. Garnish with additional ground pepper, if desired.
