Ingredients
- 2 salmon 4-6 ounces each, fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided use
- 1 lime for zest and juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- cilantro optional garnishes, fresh, wedges
- lime optional garnishes, fresh, wedges
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium pan over high heat. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon, skin side up, in the pan and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side or until fish is opaque.
- In a small bowl whisk together the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, honey, lime juice, zest, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the glaze over the salmon and cook for 1 more minute, using a spoon to baste the salmon with the glaze.
- Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen salmon fillets for this recipe. I prefer to use fresh, but if you use frozen, be sure to defrost it thoroughly before you begin cooking. Pat the fillets with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fillet.
- Use a nonstick, flat pan to cook the salmon. The fish is more likely to stick on cast iron and stainless steel pans.
- If you are using an instant-read thermometer, it should register at 145ºF.
- Take care not to overcook the salmon. When overcooked it can become dry and chewy.
