How to Make Honey Garlic Salmon
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Score the skin for a crispy texture.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard if using.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Place salmon skin-side down and press gently with a spatula. Sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just translucent.
  4. For oven method, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon on the sheet, brush with glaze, and bake for 12-15 minutes, basting halfway through.
  5. Transfer cooked salmon to plates, garnish with parsley, lemon wedges, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
