Garlicky, sweet, and sticky—this honey garlic salmon is my go-to for a quick and healthy dinner. It’s ready in just 15 minutes, but the flavors make it feel like something you’d splurge on at a fancy restaurant.
Ingredients
Instructions
Season the surface of the salmon with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, and then set aside
Combine the honey, water, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and a pinch of salt in a bowl, and stir well to mix
Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add olive oil and pan-fry the salmon, skin side down, for about 1 minute. Flip the salmon and cook for another minute. Then, turn it over again so that the skin side is facing down
Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until it is slightly browned. Then, add the honey mixture and lemon wedges to the skillet, and reduce the sauce until it becomes sticky
Finish by broiling the salmon in the oven for 1 minute, or until the surface becomes slightly charred (optional step)
Top the salmon with parsley and serve immediately
