Instructions

Step 1: Season 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on 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. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes until salmon is just cooked through. Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
Step 4: In the same skillet, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Return salmon to the skillet and spoon the soy-ginger glaze over the fillets. Remove from heat.
Step 6: In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add 8 oz snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 7: Sprinkle snow peas with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and toss to coat.
Step 8: Serve the glazed salmon fillets over the sesame snow peas, garnished with 2 sliced green onions.
