Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice with 1 1/4 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While rice cooks, mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to make the glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 2 salmon fillets and place skin-side down. Cook for 4 minutes until skin is crispy.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon and pour glaze evenly over fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning glaze over the top until salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky and aromatic.
  5. Step 5: Fluff cooked rice with a fork and stir in 3 sliced scallions.
  6. Step 6: Serve salmon over scallion rice, garnished with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds.
