Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Soy Glazed Salmon is a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and ginger (if using). Set aside.
- Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing a nice sear to develop.
- Add the Marinade: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and pour the marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer and glaze the salmon for an additional 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets occasionally.
- Check for Doneness: The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top.
- Serve Immediately: Plate the salmon with extra glaze from the skillet drizzled over it.
