Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger (if using). Set aside.

    Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

      Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin). Cook for about 3-4 minutes without moving, until the skin is crispy.

        Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

          Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the fillets. Reduce the heat to medium and let the salmon cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top occasionally. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and glazed, about 5-6 minutes total.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the salmon immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or over rice.
