Glazed Salmon Recipe

Ingredients:​

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro

Instructions:​

  1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the salmon is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down. Reserve the marinade for later use.
  6. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While cooking, you can baste the salmon with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor.
  8. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the pan over the salmon.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Glazed Salmon!
