Instructions
- Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crispy, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, and 1 tsp rice vinegar. Brush half the mixture over salmon and set aside.
- Step 3: Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the same skillet. Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant, then add 4 cups kale and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted and slightly blistered.
- Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame seeds, then add remaining honey-sriracha glaze. Cook for 1 minute until bubbly.
- Step 5: Place salmon on top of kale, drizzle with any pan sauce, and garnish with extra sesame seeds.
