1/4 cup of soy sauce
-

Directions
Start by seasoning the Ora King Salmon fillet on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down, searing it until the skin is crispy. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
In the same pan, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant - be careful not to burn them.
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Return the salmon to the pan, spooning the glaze over the top to thoroughly coat the fillet. Allow the salmon to simmer in the sauce for about a minute to absorb the flavours.
Serve the glazed salmon over steamed rice and stir-fried bok choy. Garnish with spring onions, a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
