The glaze, made from honey, soy sauce, and garlic, adds a deliciously sticky finish that enhances the natural flavors of the fish. Ready in just 25 minutes, this dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Prep the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Sear the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Glaze and Finish Cooking: Flip the salmon fillets carefully. Brush half of the glaze generously over the tops. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Serve and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the cooked salmon. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
