Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin on) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and golden.
Step 3: Flip salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes more until just cooked through. Remove salmon from pan and set aside.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 6: Return salmon to pan, spoon sauce over fillets and cook for 1 minute to glaze. Remove from heat and sprinkle with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
