Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Green onions (scallions) for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
-
Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
-
Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) and cook for 3 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
-
Glaze the Salmon: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the glaze over the salmon. Spoon it over the fillets and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
-
Serve: Plate the salmon, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
-
For a spicy kick, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the glaze.
-
You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
-
Use skin-on fillets for an extra crispy texture.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in a skillet to preserve texture.
