# Ingredients:
For the salmon
01 -
4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 oz (170 g) each
02 -
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the honey garlic glaze
05 -
1/3 cup (115 g) honey
06 -
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
08 -
2 tablespoons water
09 -
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
10 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
11 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 -
Lemon wedges, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk honey, tamari or soy sauce, lemon juice, water, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon flesh-side down and cook without moving for about 4 minutes, until golden.
04 -
Flip the salmon skin-side down. Add the minced garlic to the open space in the skillet and stir for 20-30 seconds, just until fragrant.
05 -
Pour the honey mixture around the salmon. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets, until the sauce thickens and the salmon flakes easily.
06 -
Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges and extra glaze from the pan.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served right away while the glaze is glossy.
02 -
Use tamari instead of soy sauce if you need a gluten-free option.
03 -
