Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- 3 Tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 4 salmon filets
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 4 Tablespoon butter
- lime juice from 1
Instructions
To make the glaze:
- In a measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbsp soy sauce. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Cup of Yum
To make the salmon:
- Season both sides of your boneless, skinless salmon filets with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp olive oil.
- Brush the first side of salmon generously with half of the glaze and once oil is hot, add salmon to the skillet (glaze-side-down). In the skillet, brush the second side generously with remaining glaze. Sauté salmon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn and sauté second side another 3 minutes. Add butter and minced garlic and cook until butter is melted and sauce thickens a little bit.Baste salmon with the sauce. Glaze should be caramelized and salmon should be just cooked through and opaque inside when flaked. Be careful not to overcook the salmon and burn the sauce/glaze.
- Remove salmon from skillet and repeat with remaining salmon filets.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the glazed salmon to serve and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Notes
- Pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Don't heat your skillet to hot, have it on a medium high heat. If it's too high the honey glaze will burn.
- If you have a small skillet, cook the salmon in a couple of batches.
- The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and is an opaque pink color throughout.
