Instructions

Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear, then combine with 1.5 cups water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2: Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
Step 3: While rice cooks, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl.
Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 5: Flip the salmon and brush the tops with half of the garlic-soy glaze. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Step 6: Remove salmon from pan, add remaining glaze to skillet and cook for 1 minute until slightly thickened, then spoon over salmon.
Step 7: Fluff the jasmine rice with a fork and serve salmon fillets on top, garnished with 2 sliced green onions.
