Do not move the salmon while searing to allow a good crust to form. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the prepared honey garlic glaze over the salmon. Spoon the sauce over the fish repeatedly as it simmers and thickens, coating the salmon evenly, for about 2-3 minutes.
