Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets wild caught, about ½ pound or 250 grams each, skin off or on
- ¼ teaspoon salt to season
- ¼ teaspoon pepper to season
- ½ teaspoon paprika mild, sweet or smokey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed, plus extra to serve
- 2 Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.
- Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water and soy sauce; allow the flavours to heat through and combine. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together.
- Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).
- Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste). Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
- To serve, drizzle with the sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.

Notes
- Pro Tip: Don't forget to grill or broil your salmon halfway through cooking to achieve those beautifully glazed, crispy edges.
- Pro Tip: Feel free to sprinkle a bit of parsley to garnish the dish before serving, enhancing its visual appeal.
