Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil until fully combined to make the teriyaki sauce.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt if desired.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a small drizzle of sesame oil if needed to coat the pan.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is halfway cooked.
Flip the salmon fillets gently and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the fillets.
Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon frequently, until the fish is cooked through and glazed with the sauce.
Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions for added flavor.
