Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the honey ponzu sauce.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour the honey ponzu sauce into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets to coat them evenly.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly and glazing the salmon.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the fillets.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
