1. Prep the salmon:
• Pat the salmon dry and place it in a bowl.
• Add BBQ sauce, honey, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
• Toss well to coat evenly and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
2. Cook the salmon:
• Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the salmon bites and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, until caramelized and cooked through.
• Brush lightly with extra BBQ sauce while cooking for a sticky glaze.
3. Make the blue cheese dip:
• In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayo, blue cheese, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
• Stir until creamy (leave a few small cheese chunks for texture). Chill until serving.
4. Serve:
• Arrange the salmon bites on a platter and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
• Serve with the creamy blue cheese dip on the side.
