Honey Garlic Salmon (Easy Dinner in 15 Minutes)

My Honey Garlic Salmon is glazed with a delicious sauce and ready in 15 minutes. A simple easy dinner that will impress everyone!

📝 Ingredients

• 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)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In 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. 2Season 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. 3Once 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. 4Gently 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. 5Keep basting the salmon with the sauce for about 2 minutes then remove the salmon fillets from the skillet onto a plate
6. 6Cook 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. 7Garnish 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!
