Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Glaze
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic, mixing well to create the flavorful honey garlic glaze.
- Cook Salmon Skin-Side Down: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down carefully in the hot oil and cook for about 4 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Glaze: Flip the salmon fillets gently and brush half of the honey garlic glaze over the top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Finish and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the cooked salmon fillets. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving to add freshness and color.
Notes
- Ensure salmon fillets are dry before cooking to get crispy skin.
- Use a meat thermometer to check salmon doneness (145°F recommended).
- Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt content but maintains flavor.
- Leftover glaze can be warmed and served as a dipping sauce.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
