Instructions

Step 1: Season 2 salmon fillets evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through but still moist.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 minced garlic clove.
Step 5: Pour the honey-lime glaze over the salmon in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets until it thickens slightly and coats the fish.
Step 6: Remove salmon from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving.
