Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
Cooking and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin when cooked.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well until fully mixed to create a sticky, flavorful glaze.
- Cook the Salmon Skin-Side Down: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down carefully into the pan and cook for about 4 minutes. This will develop a golden, crispy skin.
- Flip and Glaze: Flip the salmon fillets carefully using a spatula. Brush half of the prepared glaze over the cooked side of the fillets. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and is fully cooked through.
- Finish and Garnish: Remove the salmon from the skillet, drizzle the remaining glaze on top, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is patted dry for maximum crispiness of the skin.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the salt content balanced.
- Adjust cooking time according to the thickness of the salmon fillets.
- Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) to ensure safe consumption.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
