Prep the Salmon:Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the Sauce:In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth.
Heat the Pan:Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and foamy.
Sear the Salmon:Place salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip carefully.

Finish & Serve:Cook another 2–3 minutes until sauce becomes sticky and salmon flakes easily. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
