Honey Garlic Salmon (The Best Recipe!)

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.
