Description
This easy honey-garlic glazed salmon recipe is simple to make for quick and easy weeknights, but is also fancy enough to impress for your next dinner party.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, patted dry with paper towels
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. oil. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon skin side up; season with salt and black pepper. Cook until flesh is just heated through and seared, about 2 minutes.
- Step 3: Flip salmon skin side down and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add honey mixture and lemons and cook, basting salmon occasionally, until sauce is reduced by about one-third, about 3 minutes more.
Notes
To achieve a delicious crust, let the fillets cook undisturbed for a few minutes. Use a spatula to gently lift a corner to check if it releases easily before flipping.
