Making Honey Soy Salmon

Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Mix the honey, soy sauce, garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl.

  2. Pat the salmon dry. Fry skin-side down in the oil over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

  3. Turn, pour in the glaze and cook for 4 minutes, spooning it over the fish, until sticky.

  4. Serve with the sauce from the pan and the spring onions.

Small Things That Help

  • Pat the fish dry.
  • Press the fillets down for the first 30 seconds.
  • Watch the glaze closely, as honey burns fast.
  • If the glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water.

Changing the Recipe

  • Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.
  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.

What Goes With Honey Soy Salmon

  • Broccoli
  • Pak choi

Leftovers and Storage
