Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 piece lime (juiced)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature, turning once halfway through.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off (reserve the marinade), and place the fillets in the hot skillet skin-side down if applicable.
Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the skin is crispy or the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Serve the salmon fillets on plates or a serving platter. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the fish.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice and/or sautéed vegetables.
