Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, fresh or thawed, skin on or off
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin crisps up. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the glaze into the skillet, spooning it over the salmon as it simmers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the glaze thickens and coats the fillets.
- Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Pair with your favorite sides.
Notes
[‘If your glaze isn’t thickening, let it simmer for an extra minute or two.’, ‘Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.’, ‘Adjust the sweetness by reducing honey and adding more rice vinegar if desired.’]
