Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet and cook without moving them for about 4 minutes until a golden crust forms and the salmon releases easily from the pan.

3. 3

   Carefully flip the salmon fillets to skin-side down, then pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon in the pan. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon every minute until the glaze thickens and caramelizes.

4. 4

   Check the internal temperature of the salmon; it should reach 125°F (52°C) for medium or 145°F (63°C) for fully cooked. Once done, remove the skillet from heat.

5. 5

   Serve the glazed salmon over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
