This honey garlic glazed salmon is the kind of recipe you’ll crave over and over, whether you’re a pro in the kitchen or just learning your way. This salmon recipe will have you feeling like a chef.
Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice and pepper flakes. This will be your flavorful glaze. Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder on both sides. Heat olive oil with 3 slices of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the salmon easily releases from the pan. Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Then pour the honey garlic glaze over the seared salmon fillets in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the glaze simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and coats the salmon. Garnish with chopped fresh green onion and sesame seeds (optional). Serve your Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon hot, paired with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
