Pan Fried Honey Teriyaki Salmon Fillet is an easy salmon recipe that is also very tasty! It’s made with honey, rice wine, and soy sauce. By the way, these pictures really can’t do this dish justice… it’s flavorful and delicious!

It’s no surprise to me that Salmon is so popular for seafood lovers. First off, it’s freakin’ tasty. Second of all, it’s got some super impressive health benefits! It’s rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, high in Vitamin B, and a great source of Potassium just to name a few. Lots of reason to load up on salmon!

What is Teriyaki?

Technically speaking, in Japan, the word Teriyaki (or 照り焼き) refers to a cooking method where you broil or grill food with a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.

However, in the States, when we refer to Teriyaki, we usually mean the Teriyaki sauce or marinade (such as this Teriykai Beef Tenderloin Medallions recipe)

In this recipe, I marinade the beef tenderloin medallions with my homemade teriyaki sauce prior to pan searing – kicking up the beef tenderloin medallions a notch!

Also, this is how I make it medium rare. I ate too fast and didn’t manage to take a good picture of it cut open for you to see! But just wanted to mention that if you prefer it more well done, to cook it a little longer.

Ingredients

• 2 (4 oz) Salmon Filet
• 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos, if paleo)
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice Wine (optional)
• 1 tbsp Julienned, Sliced, or Grated Ginger
• 2 tbsp Corn Starch (or Potato Starch/Tapioca Starch, if paleo)

Instructions

Place your salmon on a plate and cut your salmon about half way through horizontally and vertically in this pattern:

Now, in a small bow mix your honey, rice wine, soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and ginger to make a sauce mixture.

In a ziplock bag, place salmon and sauce mixture and let it just sit in this mixture for 20 minutes. I usually wait about 10 minutes and flip it to make sure both sides get it.

On another plate, sprinkle the potato starch evenly. Take your salmon fillet away from the mixture, and put it in the potato starch until it is covered pretty well on both sides. This is going to give the salmon a nice crisp after you pan fry it.

Heat your pan with low heat with some cooking oil. When it is warm, throw your salmon in there and cook for about 5 minutes on one side uncovered.

Turn the salmon and cook uncovered until it’s done (about another 5 minutes). Then serve with some veggies on a plate and you’re ready to serve and enjoy the flavorful honey teriyaki salmon fillet!
