Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 10 oz. salmon fillets* (approx. 2-3 salmon)
- salt and pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- green onions for garnish
- sesame seeds for garnish
for the sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
- Thaw salmon according to instructions on the package.
- Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp oil, then add the salmon skin side down and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper. Place a lid on the skillet and cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes.
- While the salmon is cooking, prep the sauce: whisk all sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
- After the 5 minutes is up, add garlic to the skillet and cook the salmon for 1 more minute.

Notes
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*If the salmon fillets are on the larger size, slice them in half (which is what I did for this recipe!)
*You can use ANY kind of skillet (I used my cast iron, but a nonstick would work well too) -- just make sure it's large enough to fit all of the salmon.
*Don't flip the salmon; let it cook undisturbed with the lid on for 5 minutes or so.
*Storage: store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
