Serves: 2 |

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (approx. 150g each)
2 tablespoons honey (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 spring onions, sliced
Salt and black pepper

Directions

CONVENTIONAL METHOD

Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until crisp.
Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl.
Pour the sauce into the pan around the salmon. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until glazed, keeping the glaze light rather than thick.
Scatter with spring onion and serve.

THERMOMIX METHOD

Add garlic and ginger to the Thermomix bowl. Chop 3 sec/speed 5.
Add honey and soy sauce. Mix 10 sec/speed 3. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a pan on the stove (Thermomix cannot replicate a hard sear on fish). Sear the salmon fillets as in the Conventional Method, then pour the sauce from the Thermomix bowl into the pan to glaze.
Scatter with spring onion and serve.
