Honey Glazed Asian Salmon Recipe
Description
The Honey Glazed Asian Salmon starts by heating olive oil in a pan and seasoning the salmon fillets liberally with salt and black pepper. The fillets cook skin side down first to develop a crispy crust and then are flipped to cook through gently. The timing ensures the fish flakes easily while maintaining moistness.
A simple sauce made from soy sauce, honey, and freshly minced garlic is whisked together and then drizzled over the cooked salmon. This glaze adds a sweet and savory note that complements the salmon's flavor without overpowering it.
The recipe allows flexibility with ingredients: skin-on or skinless salmon works, and fresh garlic is preferred over powdered for its stronger aroma. Substitutions for honey include maple or brown sugar, while low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos can be used to reduce saltiness. This salmon can be a standalone dish or served alongside steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon approximately 4 ounces each, fillets
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
Instructions
- Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Season the 4 salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the fillets, flesh side down, into the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until deep golden brown.
- Flip the fillets and cook on the other side for 4-5 minutes more or until fish is just cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 clove of garlic (minced).
- Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the salmon and serve.
Notes
- Use either skin-on or skinless salmon fillets according to preference.
- Fresh wild-caught salmon is ideal, but frozen can also be used.
- Maple syrup or brown sugar can replace honey if necessary.
- Fresh minced garlic is preferred over garlic powder for better flavor.
- Low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos provide lower sodium alternatives.
