Delicious Glazed Salmon Recipe with Honey and Soy Sauce

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets salmon (skinless)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup honey (for glazing)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (for cooking)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce and honey until well combined.

    Make sure the honey is fully dissolved for an even glaze.
  2. Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate for 2-3 hours.
  3. Preheat the Pan

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

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding the salmon for a better sear.
  4. Cook the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

    Baste the salmon with the leftover marinade while cooking for extra flavor.
  5. Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

    Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions for added presentation.
