# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
4 skin-on salmon fillets
→ Glaze
02 -
60 ml honey
03 -
30 ml low-sodium soy sauce
04 -
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
→ For Cooking and Garnish
05 -
30 ml olive oil
06 -
Chopped green onions, for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 -
Rinse salmon fillets under cold water and gently pat thoroughly dry with paper towels to encourage crisp skin.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside for glazing during cooking.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, place salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear undisturbed for 4 minutes until skin turns golden and crispy.
04 -
Carefully flip fillets. Brush with half of the honey garlic glaze. Continue cooking 3–4 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork; internal temperature should reach 63°C.
05 -
Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle remaining glaze over salmon and garnish with chopped green onions just before serving.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For richer flavor, marinate salmon in glaze for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry for optimal crispness.
02 -
Maple syrup can substitute for honey if desired, delivering a unique sweetness.
03 -
Always use fresh garlic for best result; jarred garlic is less aromatic.
04 -
Reducing the honey and adding a splash of lemon juice creates a less sweet and brighter glaze.
