Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
Glaze
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
For Cooking & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This step ensures the skin crisps up beautifully during cooking.
- Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined to create a flavorful glaze.
- Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes or until the skin turns golden brown and crispy.
- Glaze and Finish Cooking: Flip the salmon fillets carefully. Brush half of the honey garlic glaze generously over the tops. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F, ensuring it is cooked through but still moist.
- Serve and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the cooked salmon and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant touch before serving.
Notes
- Pat salmon dry thoroughly to get crispy skin.
- Use a hot skillet and avoid moving salmon while searing to form a crisp crust.
- Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F for perfect doneness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave in short bursts to maintain texture and flavor.
- Try variations like swapping honey for maple syrup, adding red pepper flakes for heat, or sesame oil for an Asian twist.
