Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
Cooking
- 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 cooking.
- Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic to create a flavorful glaze mixture.
- Heat the Oil: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the salmon fillets.
- Cook Skin-Side Down: Place the salmon fillets carefully into the hot skillet skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the skin is beautifully golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Glaze: Gently flip the fillets using a spatula and brush half of the honey garlic glaze over the cooked side. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Finish and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving to add freshness and a pop of color.
Notes
- Patting the salmon dry before cooking is key to achieving crispy skin.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness in the glaze.
- Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
- The glaze can be adjusted to sweetness preference by varying the amount of honey.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
