Ingredients
Scale
4 (6-oz) Salmon Fillets
1/4 cup Honey
2 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
Fresh Parsley or Green Onions for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using)
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes, or 3-4 minutes for skinless fillets
- Gently flip the salmon fillets and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour two-thirds of the honey glaze over the salmon and continue cooking for another 4-7 minutes until cooked through
- Check for doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C)
- Transfer cooked salmon to serving plates, drizzle with the remaining honey glaze, and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions
Notes
Ensure to pat the salmon dry for a crispy sear.
You can substitute maple syrup for honey or use tamari for gluten-free.
For added brightness, consider a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime before serving.
