Print Recipe

Here is a delightful and flavorful dish that combines the natural sweetness of honey with the aromatic heat of ginger. The skin-on salmon fillets are seared to perfection, creating a crispy exterior while keeping the flesh moist and tender. The glaze, made with a simple mixture of ginger, honey, soy sauce, and garlic, caramelizes beautifully on the salmon, adding a wonderful depth of flavor. Utterly delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the fillets and brush the glaze generously over the tops.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the ginger and honey glazed salmon hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy skin. When searing the fillets, use a hot skillet to achieve a beautiful golden crust. For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Remember that salmon continues to cook after it’s removed from the oven, so be cautious not to overcook it. Serve with a simple salad for a complete meal and enjoy!
