Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season skin and flesh sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until skin is crisp and golden.
Step 3: Flip salmon carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar.
Step 5: Pour glaze into the hot skillet and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes until slightly thickened and bubbling.
Step 6: Return salmon to pan, spoon glaze over fillets to coat, then transfer to plates. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
