Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lb. skin-on salmon fillets, about 1.5-inch thick
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Step: Pat dry salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Step: In a large skillet, heat oil for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles. Sear the salmon fillets for 5-6 minutes on each side (skin side facing up first), until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer the cooked salmon onto a plate.
- Step: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, water, cornstarch and lemon juice until the cornstarch dissolves.
- Step: In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant over medium heat, about 1 minute. Stir in sauce mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Step: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and toss well to coat evenly. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.
