Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger root, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp soy sauce until well combined to make the glaze.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Step 3: Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides. Place fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until edges turn crispy and salmon releases easily from the pan.
- Step 4: Flip the salmon and pour the honey-lemon-ginger glaze over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze continuously over the fillets until salmon is cooked through and glaze thickens slightly.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately with extra glaze spooned on top to enjoy the warming, immune-friendly flavors.
