Description

This Honey Garlic Salmon recipe is a quick and flavorful dish made with just five main ingredients, ready in 15 minutes. Tender salmon fillets are pan-seared to a golden brown and coated with a delicious honey garlic soy glaze that caramelizes perfectly, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions for a simple yet elegant meal.

Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp white vinegar (or substitute with lemon juice)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Main Ingredients

  • 2 skinless salmon or trout fillets (6 oz / 200g each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or unsalted butter)

Garnishes

  • Sesame seeds
  • Finely sliced green onions
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, white vinegar (or lemon juice), and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Dry the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add the sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the salmon. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets as it thickens and caramelizes, forming a flavorful glaze.
  5. Plate and garnish: Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the fillets. Sprinkle sesame seeds and finely sliced green onions on top for added texture and flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of sides such as steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the salmon with trout fillets if desired.
  • Use lemon juice as an alternative to white vinegar for a slightly different tang.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon to maintain its moist and flaky texture.
  • For a richer flavor, unsalted butter can be used instead of olive oil.
  • Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a balanced meal.
