Ingredients

  • •4 pieces Salmon fillets
  • •0.33 cup Honey
  • •3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • •1 teaspoon Salt
  • •6 cloves Garlic
  • •2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • •1 inch Ginger
  • •1 medium Lemon
  • •1 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • •3 stalks Green onions
  • •2 cups Rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Make sauce: whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip salmon and cook for another 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour sauce around the salmon. Transfer to oven and broil for 3-4 minutes until glaze is sticky.

  6. 6

    Baste salmon with the sauce from the pan. The glaze should be thick and caramelized.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with steamed rice and garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

    💡 Do not overcook - salmon continues cooking during broiling.
