Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice to make the glaze.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, and set it aside for later.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Turn the heat down to medium and pour the prepared glaze mixture into the skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the glaze and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens.
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the thickened glaze over the top to coat them evenly.
Serve the salmon immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
