Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Garnish:
- lemon slices and chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and salt.
- Sear the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes.
- Add Glaze and Cook: Flip the fillets and pour the honey glaze over the salmon. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the top, until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is thickened.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from heat and let rest for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe pairs well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
