HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY
Two words: honey salmon! Sure, it takes a tiny bit of prep work, but once you marinate your salmon, you won't be able to go back. A simple mix of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats and flavors your fish for 30 minutes before you throw it on the pan until the outside is perfectly crispy. Once that's done, you heat up and reduce some extra marinade to make a thick, to-die-for glaze to pour over your filet. Serve with your favorite veggies or rice and enjoy!

Tips
- Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and nutrient profile. When buying farmed salmon, select sustainably sourced options.
- Brine the Salmon: This step is crucial for infusing flavor and moisture into the fish. Use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar.
- Make the Glaze: The soy-based glaze is what gives this dish its signature taste. Combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to create a flavorful and slightly sweet glaze.
- Cook the Salmon Properly: To ensure perfectly cooked salmon, pan-sear it skin-side down until crispy. Then, transfer the salmon to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Assemble the Salad: While the salmon cooks, prepare the watercress salad. Combine watercress, avocado, cucumber, and radish in a bowl. Dress with a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the cooked salmon on top of the salad and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor.
