Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
For the Salmon
  • 6 oz skin-on salmon fillets Marinade is sufficient for up to 6 fillets
  • 1 small amount neutral oil such as grapeseed, for pan

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Oven-safe pan
  • Large skillet
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and Sriracha in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir to combine.
  2. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your broiler to high for at least 10 minutes. Remove the salmon from the marinade. Pat the salmon skin dry using paper towels or a dish towel.
  4. Rub an oven-safe pan with a small amount of neutral oil. Place the salmon fillets on the pan, skin-side down. Place the pan under the broiler for 5 minutes.
  5. While the salmon broils, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. After 5 minutes under the broiler, carefully transfer the salmon fillets from the oven-safe pan to the hot skillet, skin-side down.
  6. Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 1 minute, or until the skin is crisp. Transfer the fillets to a plate to rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

This recipe can also be baked. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. The skin will not be as crisp as when broiled.
