Serves 2

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup light soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 pound salmon fillets
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Steps

1. Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 of the marinade.
2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish; pour the remaining marinade over the salmon. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 minutes.
3. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Remove salmon from marinade, shaking to remove excess marinade, and place, skin-side up, into the hot oil; cook for 4 minutes. Discard unused marinade in the shallow dish. Flip salmon and drizzle the reserved marinade over salmon; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip salmon, remove skin, and cook 1 minute more.
