Ingredients
2 (6oz) salmon fillets
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red chili flakes to create the spicy honey garlic salmon glaze.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Pour the honey mixture over the salmon and simmer for 1-2 minutes, basting the fish with the sauce until it thickens into a sticky glaze.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve your spicy honey garlic salmon immediately.
Notes
For a crispier skin, start the salmon skin-side down in a very hot pan and do not move it for at least 4 minutes.
