Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until the skin is crisp.
Step 2: Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice.
Step 4: Pour the honey-ginger glaze over the salmon in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes more, spooning the glaze over the fish until it thickens slightly and coats the salmon.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped green onions before serving with steamed rice or sautéed greens.
