Instructions: 

  • Cut the salmon into 1 inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Pour 2/3 of the marinade on top of the cubed salmon and marinate for 20 minutes.
  • While the salmon marinates, pour the final 1/3 of the sauce into a small pan over medium-high heat.
  • Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until it reduces. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
  • Preheat the grill to high, and thread the salmon pieces onto skewers.
  • Grill the skewers for approximately 4 minutes per side until they become lightly charred. Be sure to brush the salmon regularly with any leftover sauce.
  • Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the grill, brush with the thickened sauce and garnish with sesame seeds, kewpie mayo, and sriracha.
  • Serve any of the remaining thickened sauce on the side.
