Description
A delightful dish featuring salmon baked with a sweet and tangy honey garlic glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 12 oz. salmon (cut into 2-3 fillet strips)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ lemon (sliced into wedges)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Season the surface of the salmon strips with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, then set aside.
- In a bowl, combine honey, warm water, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix thoroughly.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and gently pan-fry the salmon, skin side down, for about 1 minute.
- Flip the salmon and cook for another minute. After cooking both sides, turn it over again so that the skin side is facing down.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until slightly browned.
- Pour the honey mixture and add lemon wedges to the skillet. Reduce the sauce until it becomes sticky and coats the salmon beautifully.
- Optionally, broil the salmon in the oven for an additional minute until the surface shows slight charring.
- Top the salmon with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Let the salmon sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Adjust the vinegar or lemon juice in the glaze to balance sweetness and tanginess.
