Description
This delicious broiled salmon is coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (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)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning (if using). Set aside.
- Adjust oven rack to the middle position, then preheat your broiler. Do not place the rack up high or the sauce will burn.
- Add butter and olive oil to a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for about 30 seconds until the sauce is heated through.
- Add salmon skin side down (if using salmon with skin) and cook for 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with the sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the fillets.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and broil salmon for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once with sauce during the broil, until the salmon is caramelized and cooked to your desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145F (63C) and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with minced fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add more sriracha to the sauce.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or over rice for a complete meal.
