Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Sauce
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce all purpose or light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or sub with any other vinegar except balsamic
  • 1 large garlic clove or 2 small, minced
Salmon
  • 2 salmon or trout fillets skinless (6oz / 200g each)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
Optional Garnishes
  • Sesame seeds
  • Finely sliced chives or shallots/scallions

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Non-stick fry pan

Method
 

  1. Take salmon out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Drizzle oil in a non stick fry pan and heat over medium high heat (or just under, if your stove runs hot). Place salmon in the pan, and cook the first side for 3 – 4 minutes until golden. Turn, then cook the other side for 2 – 3 minutes or until golden.
  4. Pour Sauce over salmon. Cook for 1 minute or until it starts to thicken slightly. Check the side of the salmon to tell how cooked through the middle is. If Sauce thickens too much before your salmon is cooked to your taste, add water 1 tbsp at a time.
  5. Remove onto serving plates.
  6. Serve salmon drizzled with Sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds and chives/shallots, if you want.

Notes

If you prefer your salmon more cooked through, continue cooking the second side for an extra minute or two.
