Description
A simple and delicious recipe for soy-glazed salmon steaks that offers a flavor explosion with every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top, ensuring the salmon is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
- Cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Drizzle the thickened sauce over the cooked salmon fillets.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa, and add steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
