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 non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
Step 4: Pour the honey-soy mixture over the salmon in the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fish until it thickens slightly and coats the fillets.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
