A fast and flavorful salmon recipe featuring a sticky honey soy glaze, ready in just 15 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or unexpected guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with freshly cracked black pepper. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable or canola oil once hot.
  4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down if applicable. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until edges turn opaque and skin is crispy.
  5. Flip the fillets carefully and immediately pour the prepared glaze over them. Spoon glaze over salmon as it cooks for another 3-4 minutes until opaque and flaky.
  6. Remove salmon from pan and transfer to serving plates. Spoon any remaining glaze over fillets. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

If glaze thickens too fast or starts to burn, lower heat and add a splash of water to loosen. Use fresh salmon for best results. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Maple syrup can replace honey for a different sweetness. Let salmon rest briefly after cooking to keep moist.
