Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tsp, grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp, sliced (optional, for garnish) scallions
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lime juice until well combined.
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 3-4 minutes or until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared sauce over the salmon fillets in the skillet. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, spooning it over the salmon continuously to glaze.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon to a serving plate. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the fillets.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired. Serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables.
