Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the honey ponzu sauce.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour the honey ponzu sauce into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets to coat them evenly.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly and glazing the salmon.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the fillets.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
