Ingredients
-
2 pre-cut Oshēn Salmon fillets
-
2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
-
1 Tbsp. Sesame oil
-
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
-
1 tsp. ginger, minced
-
¼ cup honey
-
½ tsp. sesame seeds
-
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Turn off the oven: This salmon recipe calls for some major pan-frying action. Hey, don’t worry if you don’t have a barbecue at home to pop a fillet of salmon on. You can easily recreate the same smoky flavor with a cast iron pan on your stove.
Add a pinch of sesame seeds, a healthy serving of this Asian-style marinade, and heat your skillet to medium-high. Let the fillet sizzle for about four minutes on each side, depending on the desired doneness. When it’s done, you’ll want to pair your protein with a warm cup of brown rice or quinoa and a selection of freshly cooked veggies like broccoli or asparagus.
