Ingredients
- 24 oz salmon filet boneless and skinless (cut into 6 pieces, 4 oz each)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp light olive oil or any high-heat cooking oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce *
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 1 Tbsp chives to garnish (optional)
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.
- Season both sides of your boneless, skinless salmon filets with salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup flour into a shallow plate and dredge both sides of salmon in flour, shaking off excess flour.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp light olive oil.**
- Brush the first side of salmon generously with half of the glaze and once oil is hot, add salmon to the pan (glaze-side-down). In the pan, brush the second side generously with remaining glaze. Saute salmon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn and sauté second side another 3 minutes. Glaze should be caramelized and salmon should be just cooked through and opaque inside when flaked.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top to serve and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
