Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 8 ounces each (225g) skin on or off, patted dry with paper towels
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon water
- 5 teaspoons soy sauce

Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently press the seasonings into the flesh.
- In a pan, melt butter over medium-high heat and sear the salmon skin-side down first. Use your spatula to lightly press the filets for full contact with the pan. Flip after a few minutes, then let them rest on a plate when done.
- Keep the melted butter in the pan, and add the garlic, honey, water, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Cook for a couple minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Return the cooked salmon filets to the pan, and cover them with sauce. Cook a couple more minutes until everything is incorporated with the glaze. Garnish with lemon slices, parsley, and serve!
Notes
- To make the sauce spicy, add sriracha or cayenne pepper.
- Storing: You can keep this leftover honey garlic salmon for up to 4 days in the fridge. To Freeze, be sure to tightly wrap the filets in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months.
