4 salmon fillets
3 tbsp honey
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley to garnish
Directions
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 4 minutes per side until golden.
- Mix honey, garlic, and soy sauce. Pour over salmon in the pan.
- Baste continuously for 2 minutes until sauce is sticky and caramelised.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the salmon — 4 minutes per side is enough. It should still be slightly pink in the centre.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for a better sear.
Swap soy sauce for tamari to make it gluten free.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days — reheat gently in a pan.
