Salmão com mel e alho (jantar fácil em 15 minutos)

Ingredientes

• 2 salmon fillets (~ 6oz / 170g each)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves - finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce - I prefer low-sodium
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a small bowl, add the sauce ingredients which are the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, chopped garlic, water and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk to combine

2. 2

   Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, place salmon fillets skin side down and gently press them down with your tongs or spatula so they don't curl up

3. 3

   Once you see the salmon is cooked halfway up on the sides (~ 4-5 minutes), gently flip them over with a spatula and cook the other side for 2 minutes

4. 4

   Gently flip the fillets over again, skin side down, reduce the heat to low and pour over the honey garlic sauce - be careful as the sauce can spit out a little and will be bubbling

5. 5

   Keep basting the salmon with the sauce for about 2 minutes then remove the salmon fillets from the skillet onto a plate

6. 6

   Cook down the sauce for 2-4 minutes until its reduced and thickened up slightly, then remove the sauce to a small bowl or ramekin

7. 7

   Garnish your delicious Honey Garlic Salmon with a drizzle of the remaining sauce alongside your favorite sides, here I've made jasmine rice and an avocado salad and enjoy!
