Ingredients
Broccoli 1 head
Garlic 2 cloves, minced
Honey 1.5 tbsp
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Rice 1 cup dry
Salmon 2 fillets, 6 oz each
Sesame Oil 1 tsp
Soy Sauce 3 tbsp
Instructions
  1. Mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, and sesame oil in a shallow bowl. Add salmon fillets and marinate 10 minutes minimum (up to 1 hour in the fridge).
  2. Remove salmon from marinade. Pat the surface very lightly dry — you want some marinade to remain but not so much it burns.
  3. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat 5 minutes until slightly syrupy. This is your glaze.
  4. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
  5. Place salmon skin-side up. Cook 4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip.
  6. Cook 3–4 more minutes. In the last minute, spoon the reduced glaze over the top.
  7. Salmon is done when it flakes with gentle pressure. Serve over rice with steamed broccoli.
