Honey Glazed Salmon

Honey Glazed Salmon features salmon filets dredged lightly in flour, drizzled with honey, and seared until golden brown before baking. A browned butter lime sauce with garlic, honey, and fresh lime juice combines sweet, tangy, and buttery flavors. This results in a richly flavored salmon with a slightly crisp exterior and moist, tender interior, complemented by a bright, buttery sauce.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
  3. Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  5. Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately with browned butter lime sauce and lime zest, if desired.
