Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Honey Soy Glazed Salmon

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
3. Pour half of the honey soy mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Marinate for 15-20 minutes.
4. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F.
5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
6. If grilling, cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
7. While the salmon cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Once the salmon is cooked, drizzle the thickened glaze over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and fresh herbs.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious honey soy glazed salmon!

Tips for the Best Results

• Marinating the salmon for at least 15 minutes enhances the flavor, but you can leave it for up to 2 hours for even more depth.
• Ensure your grill or pan is hot before adding the salmon to get a nice sear.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

Easy Variations

• Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweet profile.
• Add a splash of sriracha to the marinade for a spicy kick.
• Try using different fish, such as trout or tilapia, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty base.
• A fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing side.
• Roasted vegetables, like asparagus or broccoli, to add some crunch.
• A simple mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover honey soy glazed salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or microwave in short intervals until warm.
