Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for searing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce (if using). Set the marinade aside.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and reserve the marinade. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, flesh-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until nicely seared.

Step 5

Flip the salmon fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Plate the salmon fillets and spoon the thickened marinade over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve warm with a side of steamed rice or vegetables. Enjoy your delicious Linda's Asian Salmon!
