Step 1

For the sauce: mix together the honey, soy sauce and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 2

For the salmon: Mix together the almonds and sesame seeds and pour onto a plate.

Step 3

Brush one of the tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Press the top of each salmon fillet into the almond mixture. Season the top of each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Place each salmon fillet, crust side down, into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the crust isn't burning. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until salmon is at desired level of doneness. The length of time it takes to cook will depend in part on the thickness of the fillet.

Step 7

After the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter and pour the reserved honey garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
