Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn crispy and golden. Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 4 cloves minced garlic to the pan, sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the salmon.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped green onions on top before serving.
