Ingredients:
– 2 salmon fillets (with skin on)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp honey
– 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
– 1 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tsp lemon juice
– 1 tsp Sriracha sauce or to taste (optional)
– Fresh green onions for garnish
– Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
3. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4. While the salmon cooks, in a small bowl, mix together the honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Sriracha sauce to create the glaze.
5. Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Pour the ginger honey glaze over the salmon fillets in the pan, making sure each fillet is well-coated.
7. Continue to cook the salmon for another 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top as it thickens and caramelizes.
8. Once the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the heat.
9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
10. Serve the Ginger Honey Glazed Salmon with a side of steamed rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
