Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • ¼ cup Go Honey pure honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Serving

  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1

Prep the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2

Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

3

Sear the Salmon

Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the salmon fillets skin-side up. Cook for 3 minutes without moving until a golden crust forms.

4

Add Garlic and Glaze

Flip the salmon. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour the honey glaze over the salmon fillets.

5

Finish Cooking

Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be thick and sticky.

6

Serve

Transfer to plates, spoon extra glaze from the pan over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, sesame seeds, and lemon wedges.

Pro Tip: Don't cook over high heat or the honey will burn. Medium to medium-high is perfect for caramelization without burning. Serve over rice to soak up every drop of that delicious glaze. Try using buckwheat honey for a deeper, more complex flavor.
