Instructions

Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
Season Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Sear Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes until crisp. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Add Glaze: Pour the prepared glaze into the skillet and simmer for 1–2 minutes, spooning over salmon until thick and sticky.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Notes

Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
Ensure not to overcook the salmon; it should flake easily but remain moist.
Double the glaze recipe to use on vegetables or shrimp for extra flavor!
