Honey Glazed salmon

 

Ingredients

SALMON

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon filets
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
• 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning (optional)

SAUCE

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

• Pat salmon dry, then season with salt, pepper, paprika and blackening seasoning (if using). Set aside. Adjust oven rack to middle position, then preheat broiler.
• Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey and lemon juice and cook 30 seconds or so, until sauce is heated through.
• Add salmon, skin side down (if using salmon with skin), and cook 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon.
• Broil salmon for 8 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness.
• Garnish with minced parsley if desired.
