Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 ½ tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 pound salmon fillets
• ¼ cup light soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.

Step 2

Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade, and place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved 1/4 of the marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.
