Description
A delicious dish that combines sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz. salmon (cut into 2–3 fillet strips)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 lemon (sliced into wedges)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Season the surface of the salmon with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the honey, warm water, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add olive oil and pan-fry the salmon, skin side down, for about 1 minute.
- Flip the salmon and cook for another minute. Then, turn it over again so that the skin side is facing down.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it is slightly browned.
- Pour the honey mixture and add the lemon wedges to the skillet. Reduce the sauce until it becomes sticky.
- Finish by broiling the salmon in the oven for 1 minute, or until the surface becomes slightly charred (optional).
- Top the salmon with parsley and serve immediately.
