Salmon With Honey Glaze
Honey Glazed Salmon is one of those unicorn recipes that is ideal for busy weeknights but also fancy enough for special occasions. Serve with rice and your favorite veggie.
Ingredients
- 4 skinless salmon fillets about 5-6 ounces each, patted dry
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- Finely chopped fresh chives for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Season tops and sides of salmon fillets with salt, pepper and paprika.
- In large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to mix butter and olive oil.
- Add salmon to skillet, top side down, and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until salmon is deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, turning once halfway through cooking, and gently pressing each side of the salmon down with a spatula so it makes good contact with the pan. Transfer salmon to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce heat on skillet to medium-low. Add garlic and cook 15 seconds or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add honey, soy sauce, water, lemon juice, vinegar and red pepper flakes to skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half, stirring and scraping bottom of pan as it cooks.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Transfer salmon back to skillet and use a spoon to baste salmon with sauce until salmon is warmed through. Serve garnished with chives, if desired.
