Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 tablespoons water (for optional thickening)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for optional garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground pepper to enhance flavor.

    Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard. If using, add the cornstarch to the mixture. Whisk these ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well blended.

      Sear the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Sear the fillets for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown. Using a spatula, gently flip the salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes on the opposite side. Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside.

        Create the Glaze: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the pan. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes to let it reduce and thicken slightly. If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl until smooth, then stir this mixture into the sauce, cooking for an additional minute.

          Glaze the Salmon: Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the honey garlic glaze generously over each one. Allow the salmon to cook in the glaze for another 1-2 minutes, letting it absorb the rich flavors.

            Serve: Use a spatula to transfer the glazed salmon to a serving platter, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an elegant touch.

              Enjoy! Serve the honey garlic glazed salmon hot alongside your choice of sides, such as fluffy steamed rice or vibrant sautéed vegetables to complete the meal.
