Instructions

Set a large skillet over medium high heat. Add cooking oil of choice and onions. Cook the onions until translucent and fragrant.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the pan and cook until lightly browned and an internal temperature of at least 145F, about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through.
While the salmon is cooking you can prepare the marinade. To a small bowl add honey, shoyu, and garlic. Stir until well combined.
Once the salmon has lightly browned, pour the sauce into the skillet and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and the salmon has reached a safe internal temperature of 145F. ENJOY!

Notes

Tips

Prep ahead. This recipe moves very quickly once you get started, so prepping the ingredients in advance can be helpful! Chop the onion and garlic before you get started. You could also make the quick marinade ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready.

Watch the heat closely. Cooking your salmon over medium-high is essential for getting a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist. That said, be careful not to overcook the salmon — it can dry up fast.
Check for doneness with a meat thermometer before you pull the filets off the stove. Remember, it should reach an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F. It should be firm to the touch and flake easily with a fork.
Feel free to adjust the sauce. I typically let it simmer for around 3-4 minutes, but if you like it thicker, you can leave it for longer. And, if you make a mistake and it comes out too thick, thin it out with some water!
