Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- chopped fresh parsley optional, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 4 pieces and then season it with salt & pepper.
- Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat, and when it's hot, add the salmon skin side up. Cook it for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's just cooked through. If the oil is splattering everywhere, turn the heat down a bit.
- Meanwhile, add the lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and garlic to a bowl and stir until it's mixed.
- Transfer the fish to a plate.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and let it bubble for a couple of minutes to reduce it a bit and cook the garlic. Add the fish back to the pan and spoon the sauce over it. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and top with fresh parsley if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The timing is for salmon that's about 1" thick. Lower cooking time for thinner salmon or skinless salmon.
