Ingredients

2 big salmon fillets
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
pinch of black pepper
black sesame seeds toasted
coriander leaves

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and garlic.
Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let them sit for 30 minutes. Remove the fillets and pat dry with paper.
Place the marinade in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced to half. Set aside and cool down.
Drizzle the salmon fillets with the olive oil and place it skin-side down in a hot skillet. Turn down the heat and let the fish cook for 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the salmon fillets from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
Brush the soy sauce glaze over the filets and garnish with toasted white sesame seeds and coriander leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

Let that fish soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes to increase the "mouthwatering" factor of the fish.
Always opt for fresh ingredients. Ginger, coriander... the fresher, the better.
Don't forget to pat your salmon dry before cooking it. Doing so will lead to that scrumptious golden layer and prevent it from getting watery while cooking.
