Instructions

1

Marinate the Salmon

In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce and honey. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki honey mixture over them. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes while you preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.

2

Sear the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin side up in the hot pan. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes until golden, then flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.

3

Glaze and Finish

Pour the remaining teriyaki honey glaze over the salmon fillets in the pan. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish as it caramelizes and the salmon cooks through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

Substitutions

teriyaki saucea mix of equal parts soy sauce and a little brown sugar if you do not have teriyaki sauce on hand
honeymaple syrup or brown sugar for an equally sweet caramelized glaze

Common mistakes

Moving the salmon too early during searing before it has developed a crust, which causes it to stick and fall apart
Using too high heat when adding the honey glaze, which causes it to burn and turn bitter before the salmon is fully cooked
