- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

- 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)

Instructions
Preparation
- Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
Making the Sauce
- In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Cooking the Salmon
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked.
Combining with Sauce
- Reduce the heat, pour in the honey garlic sauce, and gently toss to coat the salmon evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Serving
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or green onions. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. Add veggies like broccoli or bell peppers for a one-pan meal. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
