Steps

1Mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

2Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.

3Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes without moving it. You want a golden crust on the skin side.

4Flip the salmon and pour the honey-garlic sauce around and over the fillets.

5Cook for another 3-4 minutes, tilting the skillet occasionally so the sauce bathes the fish, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

6Transfer salmon to plates and spoon the pan sauce over top. Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds if using.
