Per serving
- 1
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for getting a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the glaze. Set aside.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. The pan should be very hot before adding the salmon.
- 4
Place salmon fillets skin-side up in the hot pan. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip carefully with a spatula.
Step 45:00 - 5
Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets repeatedly as it bubbles and thickens. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Step 54:00 - 6
Transfer salmon to plates. Pour any remaining glaze from the pan over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- 7
Serve immediately with steamed rice and broccoli, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
