Ingredients
– 4 salmon filets (6 oz 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-Getting started: Begin by patting the salmon dry and seasoning it with the salt, pepper, paprika, and optional blackening seasoning for a robust flavor base. This step ensures the fish holds up well during cooking and absorbs the glaze nicely.
2-Next: preheat your oven broiler and set the rack in the middle to avoid burning the sauce. In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with olive oil, then add the garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Cook this mixture for about 30 seconds to warm it up and let the flavors blend.
3-Place the salmon filets skin side down in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, basting frequently to lock in moisture and flavor. Then, broil for 5-6 minutes, basting once more, until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon is fully cooked. Let it rest for a moment before serving, and garnish with minced parsley if you like.
