Instructions
Creating Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon is a simple process when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Place the fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving them.
5. Flip the Fillets: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes.
7. Glaze the Salmon: Spoon the thickened marinade over the salmon fillets to coat them evenly.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating this incredible salmon dish effortlessly.
