Instructions

Step 1: Rinse 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice with 2 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Step 4: Flip salmon fillets and pour the soy-ginger glaze over them. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon, until the fish is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Serve salmon over steamed jasmine rice, garnished with 2 thinly sliced green onions.
