Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • Green onions sliced (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl with the marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down.
  5. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon in the skillet.
  6. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then gently flip the fillets.
  7. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove the salmon from the skillet, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after cooking for even more tender and juicy results.
