Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 1 tbsp sesame oil until combined.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and place skin-side down. Sear for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour the ginger-soy glaze over the salmon and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the fish.
Step 4: Remove salmon from heat, garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
