Honey Sesame Seared Salmon Recipe (gluten free)

Step 1

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together until smooth.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a Ziploc bag or a large glass dish (I use my large Pyrex casserole dish, which has a lid).

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the salmon and let sit in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight.

Step 4

When you're ready to cook the salmon, heat a skillet, frying pan, or cast iron pan (I use cast iron) over medium heat. Add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil.

Step 5

Place the salmon in the pan, skin side down. The salmon should sizzle when it hits the pan and this will sear the skin.

Step 6

Cook skin side down for 2-3 minutes and then flip the salmon.

Step 7

Pour the remaining marinade in the pan, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook the salmon for 3-5 minutes, or until done.

Step 8

Salmon will be done when it flakes with a fork.

Step 9

Serve with fresh chopped chives or green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Step 10

NOTE: Cooking time will vary, depending on the thickness of your salmon fillet.
