- 1 lb skinless salmon fillets (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions
- Marinate the Salmon: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Add salmon cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
