Ingredients

4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons Happy Bee Co-op’s Avocado & Mānuka honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Preparing the Salmon: Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning to adhere better to the fish. Season the fillets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Making the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Avocado & Mānuka honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. This combination creates a delightful glaze that complements the rich, buttery flavor of the salmon.

Cooking the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through. The salmon should be opaque in the center and flake easily with a fork.
Glazing the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the honey mixture over the salmon fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize. The honey glaze will create a beautiful, glossy finish on the salmon.
Garnishing and Serving: Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added color and texture. Serve immediately, spooning any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top of the salmon.
