Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves to make the glaze.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until crispy. Flip the fillets, pour the soy-ginger glaze over them, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze thickens.
3. Step 3: For scallion pancakes, slice 6 green onions thinly. In a mixing bowl, stir 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup hot water until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
4. Step 4: Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball into a 7-inch circle on a floured surface. Sprinkle sliced green onions evenly over each circle, roll tightly into a log, then coil each log into a round patty and flatten gently.
5. Step 5: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp sesame oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
6. Step 6: Serve the glazed salmon alongside the scallion pancakes, drizzling any remaining glaze over the pancakes.
