Easy Honey Garlic Salmon Fillets Recipe

How To Prepare Easy Honey Garlic Salmon Fillets?

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets

• Salt and pepper, to season

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (mild, sweet or smokey)

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced

• 4 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon water

• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice, (plus extra to serve)

• Lemon wedges to serve

Instructions:

1. Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.
2. Season salmon with salt, pepper & paprika. Set aside.
3. Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic & sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water & soy sauce, allow the flavours to heat through & combine. Add in the lemon juice, stir well to combine all of the flavours together.
4. Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan, cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt & pepper, to taste (if desired).
5. Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste).
6. Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, & the salmon is cooked to your liking.
7. To serve, drizzle with the sauce & a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables, over rice or with a salad.
