PREPARATION

• Heat The Pan: Place a non-stick pan over medium flame and add a few drops of olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Sear The Salmon: Place the salmon fillet in the pan skin-side down. Cook for 3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Glaze The Fish: Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey-garlic mixture over the salmon. Baste the fillet with the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens.
• Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and drizzle any remaining glaze over the fish.

PREPARATION TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

7 minutes

TIPS

• Use Fresh Salmon: Fresh salmon has a better texture and flavour, but frozen works if properly thawed.
• Don’t Overcook: Salmon is best when slightly translucent in the centre. Overcooking makes it dry.
• Enhance The Glaze: Add a splash of lemon juice or rice vinegar for acidity.
• Crispy Skin Option: If keeping the skin arranged, press the fillet down when searing to crisp it up.

VARIATIONS

• Ginger Honey Salmon: Add grated ginger for an extra flavour boost.
• Lemon Honey Glaze: Swap soy sauce for fresh lemon juice for a brighter taste.
• Baked Honey Garlic Salmon: Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 to 15 minutes instead of pan-frying.
• Sesame-Crusted Version: Sprinkle sesame seeds before cooking for added texture.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: Freeze uncooked salmon with glaze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before cooking.
• Make-Ahead: Prepare the glaze and marinate the salmon for up to 24 hours.
