Ingredients

  • 2 6-ounce portions Salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds(optional)
  • 1 stalk Green onions, sliced(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, letting them sit for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Place the salmon skin-side up in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip the salmon carefully. Pour the remaining marinade into the pan.

  6. 6

    Cook for another 4-5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish as it thickens into a glaze.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat once the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  8. 8

    Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
