Step 1

In a small saucepan combine 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp honey, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp rice vinegar, 3-4 cloves of pressed garlic and 1/2 inch of grated ginger. Stir and cook over medium heat until thickened and reduced, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, sprinkle the salmon fillet with cracked black pepper on both sides. Heat the skillet with a couple of tablespoons of oil over high heat, add the salmon and cook until golden on both sides, covering with lid in between, about 5-6 minutes per side. Depending on the thickness of your salmon this might take more or less time. Aim for the center of the salmon to be 145F°.

Step 3

Transfer the salmon fillet to a serving dish and drizzle the honey glaze. Eat hot, right away.

Step 4

Serve with rice or rice noodles as a side dish. Steamed broccoli, green beans and asparagus make a beautiful addition to this meal as well.
