Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with black pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the soy glaze by whisking together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp up.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and pour in the prepared soy glaze. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the tops of the fish to coat them evenly. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salmon and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
