This salmon is all about scent and balance. The ginger lifts everything, the soy adds depth, and the fish stays tender without needing much time or attention.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, oil, honey, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and black pepper.
- Add the salmon and turn gently so every piece is coated.
- Leave to marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the pan.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Place the salmon into the pan, keeping the remaining marinade aside.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes until the underside is lightly caramelised.
- Turn the salmon and pour the remaining marinade into the pan.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish as it thickens.
- Finish with sesame seeds and remove from heat.
Typical mistakes
- Marinating too long — the soy overpowers the salmon.
- Cooking on high heat — the honey burns before the fish cooks.
- Moving the fish too early — let the surface colour first.
