Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 4 6-oz. salmon fillets, patted dry
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, sliced into rounds

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes until well combined. This will be your glaze mixture.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the salmon fillets skin-side up. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook until deeply golden, about 6 minutes, then flip the salmon and add the remaining tablespoon of oil.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the honey glaze mixture and add the lemon slices. Cook until the sauce reduces by about 1/3, then spoon the glaze over the salmon to coat evenly.

Garnish with additional lemon slices and serve immediately. Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious dish that’s sure to become a family favorite!
