Cuisine: American / Asian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon filet
- 4 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 1/4 tablespoons soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari)
- 1 1/4 tablespoons white vinegar (or red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, diced (optional garnish)
Here's how to make it:
- Remove salmon from refrigerator 10 minutes before you start to cook. Pat it dry and season with salt and pepper, to taste, if desired.
- During that time, make the sauce. In a small mixing bowl, add the honey, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic. Whisk to combine. Give it a taste to see if you'd like to add any more of any of the sauce ingredients to get the flavor balance that's right for you. Set aside.
- In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and salmon. Cook for about 3 minutes or so.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for another 3 minutes or so.
- Spread the sauce over the salmon and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. If your sauce doesn't thicken quickly enough, you can add a dash of cornstarch. If it thickens too quickly, you can add a bit of water. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
- Remove from pan and serve over rice with your favorite vegetables or side dishes. Garnish with diced scallions, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
