Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by patting your salmon fillet dry using paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined.
While the salmon marinates, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Gently place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Once the skin is crisp, carefully flip the salmon over and spoon the remaining marinade over the fish.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a plate, letting it rest for a couple of minutes.
Slice the salmon into portions and serve warm alongside steamed jasmine rice and sautéed vegetables.
