Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)
For the Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • To taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp.

Notes

This recipe focuses on achieving a sticky glaze by reducing the sauce directly on the fish. Watch the heat to prevent the honey from burning.
