Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, about 6 ounces each)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger to create the glaze.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
- Flip the salmon and cook for another 2 minutes. Then pour the honey glaze over the fillets.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
