Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 4 salmon filets 6 oz each
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or regular paprika
  • 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning optional

Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Minced parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and blackening seasoning if using.
  • Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the broiler. Keeping the rack in the middle prevents the honey garlic sauce from burning.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with olive oil.
  • Add minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds until the sauce is warmed through and fragrant.
  • Add the salmon filets skin-side down if using skin-on salmon. Cook for 3 minutes while frequently spooning the sauce over the top of the salmon.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 5–6 minutes, basting once during cooking. The Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon is ready when the glaze is caramelized and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
  • Pair Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon with rice, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
  • Leftover salmon can be flaked into wraps, grain bowls, or pasta.
  • Add extra lemon wedges for serving.
