Ingredients

4 salmon fillets

3 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice.

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until lightly golden.

5. Flip the salmon carefully and add the butter to the pan.

6. Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and let it bubble gently.

7. Spoon the glaze over the salmon as it cooks for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the salmon is tender and flaky.

8. Remove from the heat and spoon the remaining glaze over the top.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds, then serve warm.

Notes

Patting the salmon dry helps it sear better and keeps the glaze from turning watery.

Watch the garlic closely once the sauce hits the pan so it does not burn.

Serve the salmon right away for the best texture and the glossiest glaze.
