Servings:
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or grainy mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds chopped green onions, lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat Oven (if baking):
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, vinegar (or lemon juice), and pepper.
- Sear or Bake:
- For Baking:
- Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush glaze generously over each piece.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
- Broil for the last 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- For Stovetop:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sear salmon skin-side down first for 3–4 minutes. Flip, pour in glaze, and cook for another 3–4 minutes, spooning glaze over the top until thickened and the salmon is fully cooked.
- Serve:
- Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions and serve with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
