Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets, skin-on (6-8 oz / 170-225g each)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onion for garnish

Instructions

1. 1Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
2. 2Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. 3Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side UP and press gently. Sear 4 minutes until golden and crispy on the flesh side.
4. 4Flip salmon skin-side down. Pour glaze over the fillets. Cook 3-4 more minutes, basting with the glaze, until salmon flakes easily and glaze is thick and sticky.
