Ingredients

for the sauce:

Instructions

  • Thaw salmon according to instructions on the package.
  • Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon 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.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, then pour the sauce over the salmon and cook for 1-2 more minutes or until the sauce thickens, stirring so that it coats the salmon.
  • Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds over the salmon before serving and enjoy!

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.
