Method
 

  1. Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate the Salmon:
    Pat salmon dry, then toss with BBQ sauce, honey, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
      Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes for maximum flavor. 😋
        2️⃣ Cook:
          Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
            Cook salmon bites for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden, sticky, and caramelized. 🔥
              Brush with extra BBQ sauce for that glossy finish. ✨
                3️⃣ Prepare the Dip:
                  In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayo, blue cheese, lemon juice, and honey.
                    Add salt & pepper, and stir until creamy (a few cheese chunks make it extra tasty). 🧀💙
                      Chill until ready to serve. ❄️
                        4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
                          Plate the salmon bites, drizzle with a bit more BBQ sauce, and serve with your creamy blue cheese dip.
                            Perfect with celery sticks 🥬 or toasted bread 🥖 for dipping!
