Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil (like avocado or grapeseed oil)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Sliced green onions (scallions) (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. First, pat the salmon fillets very dry with paper towels. Season them lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, minced fresh garlic, grated fresh ginger, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk everything together until it's well combined.
  3. Place a large, oven-safe non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of high-heat cooking oil.
  4. Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), into the hot skillet. Let them sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Gently flip the salmon fillets. Immediately pour about half of the prepared honey soy glaze over the salmon. Let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through.
  6. Carefully remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for a few minutes.
  7. If there's still a good amount of glaze left in the skillet, add the remaining half of the glaze to the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, stirring, until it thickens.
  8. Drizzle any extra reduced glaze over the salmon. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and freshly sliced green onions before serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overcook the salmon; it should flake easily with a fork. For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in half of the glaze for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Adjust sweetness and saltiness to your preference.
