Description
An unforgettable culinary delight featuring seared salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper. Trim any ragged bits for an attractive presentation.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic, then set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook without moving them for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to develop a crispy texture.
- Carefully flip the fillets over, reduce heat to medium, and pour the honey-garlic glaze around the fish, spooning some directly over each piece.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
- Transfer the salmon to plates, drizzle any thickened glaze over the tops, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan. Adjust garlic to taste and consider adding sriracha for heat or citrus juice for brightness.
