Ingredients

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp red pepper flakes

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

4 to 6 oz salmon fillets, patted dry with a paper towel

salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lemon, sliced into rounds

 

Procedure:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.

2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat two tablespoons oil. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon skin-side up and season with salt and pepper. Cook salmon until deeply golden, about 6 minutes, then flip over and add remaining tablespoon of oil.

3. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the honey mixture and sliced lemons and cook until sauce is reduced by about 1/3. Baste salmon with the sauce.

4. Garnish with sliced lemon and serve.
