Honey Garlic Salmon

This Honey Garlic Salmon recipe is all about the sauce. Just four simple pantry essentials in the right proportions – soy sauce, honey, garlic and vinegar.

Prep: 5 mins

Cook: 10 mins

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (all purpose or light soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar (or sub with any other vinegar except balsamic)
  • 1 large garlic clove (or 2 small) , minced

Salmon

  • 2 salmon fillets, skinless 200g each
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Sesame seeds
  • Finely sliced chives or shallots or spring onion scallions
      Method:
      1. Take salmon out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat salmon skin dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
      2. Whisk together the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
      3. Drizzle oil in a non stick fry pan and heat over medium high heat (or just under, if your stove runs hot). Place salmon in the pan, and cook the first side for 3 – 4 minutes until golden. Turn, then cook the other side for 2 – 3 minutes or until golden.
      4. Pour Sauce over salmon. Cook for 1 minute or until it starts to thicken slightly. Check the side of the salmon to tell how cooked through the middle is – I like mine medium rare inside. (Note 1). If Sauce thickens too much before your salmon is cooked to your taste, just add water 1 tbsp at a time.
      5. Remove onto serving plates.
      6. Serve salmon drizzled with Sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds and chives/shallots, if desired.
