Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Soy Mustard Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Other:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soy Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
- Searing the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Glazing the Salmon: During the last minute of cooking, pour the soy mustard glaze over the salmon and spoon it over the fillets to coat. Remove from heat and transfer the salmon to plates.
- Serving: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a simple salad.
