Instructions

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), lemon juice, and grated ginger (if using) until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the salmon fillets and pour the honey garlic sauce over them. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon occasionally until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and spoon the remaining sauce over the top before serving immediately.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon in the honey garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer.
