Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon Ingredients

Pan Fried Salmon

Salmon is one of my favorite proteins because not only is it delicious; it is also super healthy. Salmon is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids and is high in Vitamin B. Salmon is one of the most delicious proteins that can be cooked in less than 15 minutes when cooked correctly.

One of the reasons why most people are afraid of cooking salmon is that it is easy to overcook. Nobody likes dry and chewy meat. My secret tip is pan-frying first with flour, then glazing to prevent overcooking the salmon. The flour helps lock in the juices while creating a crispy crust that holds on to the glaze nicely. Make sure always to pat dry the salmon to prevent it from splattering everywhere when cooking. 

Spicy Honey Soy Ginger Glaze

This savory salmon dish is so tasty thanks to that sticky, spicy honey glaze on top. Made with easy pantry ingredients like soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, red chili flakes, and grated ginger, you can whip up this delicious sauce in a few minutes right now. It’s just the right amount of sticky-sweet and spicy that honestly can go with anything, from salmon to tofu.

If you don’t like spicy, feel free to skip the chili flakes for Honey Glazed Salmon instead. 

Step By Step How To For Spicy Honey Glazed Salmon

1. Pat dry the salmon and lightly salt and pepper both sides. Coat the salmon in flour and dust off any excess flour 
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, red chili flakes, and grated ginger. 
3. Turn the heat up to medium-high and drizzle in the oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon skin side facing down and pan fry it for 4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. 
4. Pour in the sauce and let it simmer for 30 seconds before adding it back to the salmon. Cook the salmon for another 4 minutes and keep pouring the sauce all over the fish.
5. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.
