Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet or on the prepared baking sheet over medium-high heat.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) in the hot oil. Sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. If not using skin, sear for 2 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour honey garlic glaze over the salmon fillets.
Transfer the skillet or baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, ensure the salmon is very dry before searing.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat.
If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can substitute with lemon juice.
Serve with rice, quinoa, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
