Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (skin on)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey

1. In a large plastic bag, add the garlic, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha and water. Close and shake. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture and set aside. 
2. Add the salmon to the bag and place in the refrigerator. Allow to rest a minimum of 1 hour. Remove the salmon and discard the marinade.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Gently place the salmon in the hot oil, skin side down. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until nicely opaque. Remove the salmon onto a plate. Set aside. 
4. Lower the heat and add the remaining sauce to the pan. Swirl and cook to thicken.
5. When the salmon is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. Discard. Return to the pan and gently bathe with the warm sauce. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
