Instructions

Step 1: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until the skin is crisp and golden.
Step 4: Flip the fillets and cook an additional 2 minutes until just cooked through.
Step 5: Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6: Stir in 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7: Return the salmon to the pan, spoon the glaze over each fillet, and cook for 1 more minute to warm through.
Step 8: Garnish with 3 thinly sliced scallions before serving.
