Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon steaks
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish or a zip-top plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Place the salmon steaks in the hot skillet or grill pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice sear. Flip the steaks carefully and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a glaze.

Step 7

Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Brush the glaze generously over the steaks for extra flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve warm alongside steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
