Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the skillet is hot, place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Step 4
Flip the salmon fillets and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the garlic.
Step 7
Stir the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 8
Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat them evenly. Let them heat in the sauce for about 1 minute.
Step 9
Transfer the salmon to plates or a serving dish, drizzle with any remaining sauce, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
