Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- Mince the garlic and chop the green onions. Measure honey and soy sauce so they are ready.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth. Set the glaze aside.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- When the oil shimmers, place the salmon in the pan skin-side down. Press gently with a spatula for the first 20 seconds so the skin makes even contact.
- Cook skin-side down for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Reduce the heat if the skin starts to brown too quickly.
- Flip the fillets carefully. Spoon the honey garlic glaze evenly over the tops. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Let the glaze bubble and thicken for 1 to 2 minutes while the salmon cooks about 2 to 3 more minutes for medium.
- Remove the salmon to plates. Let it rest for a minute so the juices redistribute. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
Nutrition
Notes
Use skin-on fillets for the best texture. If your garlic is small, add another clove to increase flavor. Low-sodium soy sauce prevents the glaze from becoming overly salty.
