Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Honey Garlic Glaze:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish:
- Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Season and Cook the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Glaze the Salmon: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon. Spoon the sauce over the fillets as it simmers, letting it bubble and reduce slightly, about 2–3 minutes more, until the salmon is cooked through and glazed.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, remove salmon once cooked and simmer the sauce for an additional 2–3 minutes to reduce.
- This dish pairs well with rice, steamed veggies, or roasted potatoes.
