Ingredients
– 4 salmon filets, 6 oz (about 170 g) each
– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon blackening seasoning (optional)
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 2 teaspoons olive oil
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup honey
– 3 tablespoons water
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1-First off, pat the salmon dry and season it evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning if you want a bit of extra kick. Heat up butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, then stir in the minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice until the sauce warms through. Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and cook for about 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over it to keep it moist.
2-Preheat your broiler and set the oven rack in the middle for even cooking.
3-After the initial cook, slide the skillet into the oven and broil for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once to let that glaze caramelize.
4-Once done, pull it out and let it rest a minute before garnishing with chopped parsley if you have it on hand.
