Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit if you are baking the salmon. If you prefer to pan-sear, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger if you are using it. This will be your glaze.
If you are baking the salmon, place the fillets on a lined baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For pan-searing, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets over. Brush the glaze over the top of the salmon and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven or skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve your honey garlic glazed salmon with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients, making it a great choice for a healthy dinner. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors that will have your family coming back for seconds!
