Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (skinless, about 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional, for extra flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Steamed rice or quinoa, for serving

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside.

      Heat the Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon fillets, skin side down (if they have skin). Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the first side is golden brown.

        Flip the Salmon: Gently flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Add the minced garlic to the skillet around the salmon (be careful not to burn it). Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon fillets.

          Glaze and Cook: Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the salmon for another 4-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fish occasionally, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 145°F).

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or quinoa, with extra lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
