Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade:

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.

      Season the Salmon:

        Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

          Heat the Skillet:

            Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

              Flip the Salmon:

                Carefully flip the salmon fillets over and pour the honey-garlic sauce over them. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting the fillets with the sauce occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

                  Thicken the Sauce (Optional):

                    If you prefer a thicker glaze, remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and increase the heat. Allow the sauce to bubble for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.

                      Serve:

                        Plate the salmon and drizzle the pan sauce over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
