Le Fumoir Tip

Patting the salmon skin thoroughly dry before touching the hot pan is crucial for achieving an ultra-crispy skin without tearing or sticking.

Method(22 mins)

  1. 01 Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels; season both sides lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
  2. 02 In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, raw honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until blended.
  3. 03 Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 04 Lay salmon fillets skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until skin is crisp and deep golden.
  5. 05 Gently flip fillets and cook for 2 minutes. Pour the soy-honey mixture directly into the pan.
  6. 06 Let sauce bubble and reduce for 1–2 minutes, spooning the glaze continuously over salmon until thick and glossy. Remove salmon to serving plates.
  7. 07 Add sesame oil and halved bok choy cut-side down into the remaining pan sauce. Sear for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  8. 08 Plate bok choy beside salmon, drizzle remaining glaze over top, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
