How to Make Glazed Salmon

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and the juice of 1 lemon. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze has reduced by half and thickened slightly.
  3. Remove the ginger and lemon zest from the glaze using a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside to cool completely.
  4. Rinse a 1-pound salmon fillet and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
  6. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot pan. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Drizzle the cooled ginger glaze generously over the cooked salmon and serve immediately. Garnish with extra lemon zest or sliced green onions, if desired.
