Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp salt. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes until the salmon is opaque in the center.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon lime zest in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Pour the sauce over the salmon in the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon. Remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Transfer salmon to plates, spoon the reserved sauce over the top, and sprinkle with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
