Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 piece lime (juiced)
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature, turning once halfway through.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 5

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off (reserve the marinade), and place the fillets in the hot skillet skin-side down if applicable.

Step 6

Cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the skin is crispy or the bottom is golden brown.

Step 7

Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

While the salmon cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Serve the salmon fillets on plates or a serving platter. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the fish.

Step 10

Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice and/or sautéed vegetables.
