Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 (4 to 6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  2. Pour half of the sauce in a small saucepan and the remainder in a resealable plastic bag. Place salmon into the marinade in the bag. Squeeze air out of the bag, seal, and marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. When ready to cook, remove salmon from the bag and discard the used marinade.
  4. Bring the reserved marinade in the saucepan to a simmer. Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine, then whisk the cornstarch mixture into the marinade and simmer until thickened.
  5. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add salmon filets skin-side down, pressing down on the fish with a spatula for 10 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for about 1 minute, until golden brown and the edges are opaque (internal temp 120-130 degrees F).
  6. Transfer salmon to a serving plate and brush tops with warm marinade.
  7. Serve immediately garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with rice and broccoli.
