Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Adds depth and umami flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey The main flavoring agent for sweetness and spice.
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Used for the marinade.
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional for extra heat.
For the Salmon
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets Rich, buttery flavor and flaky texture.
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil To sear the salmon.
  • 2 tablespoons green onions Optional garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Optional garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, hot honey, and optional red pepper flakes to prepare the marinade.
  2. Place cubed salmon into the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 6 hours in the refrigerator, or proceed right away if short on time.
Cooking
  1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  2. Pour the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil into the skillet and swirl it to coat.
  3. Using tongs, remove the salmon from the marinade and add it to the skillet skin-side down. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes until browned.
  4. Flip the salmon and sear for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet, tossing the salmon gently in the glaze to coat.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Select the freshest salmon available for the best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper searing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
