Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or regular if preferred)

1/4 cup honey

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup snap peas, trimmed and rinsed

1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until fully blended. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, pouring half of the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Let the salmon marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors while you prepare the vegetables.

    Preheat the Pan: In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sear the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Season both sides of the fillets lightly with salt and black pepper. Gently place the salmon fillets into the hot skillet skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving until they develop a golden brown crust.

        Add the Vegetables: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and add the trimmed snap peas and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet, arranging them around the salmon. Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and vegetables.

          Glaze and Cook: Decrease the heat to medium. Allow everything to cook for another 4-5 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze over the salmon to promote even coating and enhance flavor. The salmon should become fully cooked and flaky, while the vegetables remain tender yet crisp.

            Serve: Once cooked through, carefully remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish your dish with freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve the beautifully glazed salmon and vibrant vegetables on a generous bed of cooked rice, drizzling any residual glaze from the skillet over the top for extra flavor.
