Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish or a zip-top plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Place the salmon steaks in the hot skillet or grill pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice sear. Flip the steaks carefully and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a glaze.
Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Brush the glaze generously over the steaks for extra flavor.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve warm alongside steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
