Wasabi & Honey Glazed-Salmon Recipe

In a small saucepan, combine the mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and ginger over medium-high heat. Stir in the wasabi paste incrementally, tasting as you go, until it hits your preferred level of heat.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-10 minutes.

Remove the glaze from the heat. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly coat an oven-proof skillet with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.

Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Place the salmon, skin side up, into the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them, until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon over so it's skin side down.
