Description

Salmon is good on its own. What more if it is combined with ingredients like lemon, honey, and garlic? Oh boy, it’s gonna be sooooo good! You should try this salmon with honey garlic glaze recipe.


Ingredients

Units Scale

4 6–oz salmon fillets (patted dry with a paper towel)

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)

kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 lemon (sliced into rounds)


Instructions

  1. Whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it is hot enough, add salmon skin-side up and then season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6 minutes or until golden. Flip over and add remaining olive oil.
  3. Add garlic and cook for about a minute or until fragrant. Add the honey mixture and sliced lemons. Cook until sauce is reduced by about 1/3.
  4. Baste salmon with the sauce.
  5. Garnish with sliced lemon.
  6. Serve.

Notes

  • When heating the oil, make sure that it is hot but not smoking.
  • You can serve this dish with steamed white rice.
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes

Super easy, right? Making this dish won’t even take you half an hour, but it is very healthy. Whether you are trying to lose weight or just don’t have enough time to cook a more elaborate dinner meal, this can be your go-to recipe. Like I said earlier, you can never go wrong with salmon.

One thing that you need to know when cooking this dish is that you have to be extra careful when searing. Your pot should be hot and its bottom needs to be coated with oil. When you put the salmon in, you should hear a sizzle. And in order for you to get that delicious crust, it is important that you cook it undisturbed for a few minutes.
