To create your own Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon, follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, grated ginger (if using), and rice vinegar. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Prepare for Cooking: Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use. Season the fillets with salt and pepper.

4. Cook the Salmon:
– Grilling Method: Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip gently, brush the reserved marinade over the top, and grill for another 5-7 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
– Baking Method: Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky. Brush the reserved marinade over the fillets halfway through the cooking time for added flavor.

5. Prepare the Glaze: While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.

6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened glaze over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an elegant touch.

7. Enjoy: Serve your Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

These straightforward steps will guide you to make an incredible dish that’s sure to impress.
