Ingredients
- 24 oz salmon fillet 4 pieces x 6 oz each
- 6 large garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp oil for frying
- 1 green onion sprig finely chopped
Instructions
- Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat the broiler and adjust oven rack to middle position.
- Preheat cast iron skillet on medium heat and add oil, garlic, honey, lemon juice and water. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.
- Place salmon fillets skin side down and cook for 3 minutes, pouring sauce over them with a spoon often. Turn off heat and place skillet under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, basting once or twice. Salmon is ready when browned and caramelized a bit.
- Serve hot garnished with green onions.
Notes
Store: In an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze: I do not recommend to freeze cooked salmon because its flesh will become tough and rubbery once thawed.
Alternatively, you can pan fry salmon on each side for 4 minutes.
If you sauce is a bit watery (mine wasn't), just cook it down a bit until desired consistency.
