Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 6-ounce salmon filets
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon blackening seasoning
Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 6 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Pat 4 salmon filets completely dry using paper towels. Sprinkle each filet with ⅛ tsp kosher salt, ⅛ tsp black pepper, ⅛ tsp smoked paprika, and a tiny pinch of blackening seasoning.
- Position your oven rack in the center position. Preheat broiler to high heat, around 500°F.
- Melt 3 Tbsp butter and 2 tsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add 6 minced garlic cloves to the hot pan. Quickly pour 3 Tbsp water, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sriracha, ½ cup honey, and 2 Tbsp lemon juice into the skillet.
- Simmer sauce ingredients for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to combine flavors.
- Place salmon filets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for exactly 3 minutes without moving the fish.
- Use a spoon to baste salmon generously with pan sauce every 30 seconds during cooking.
- Transfer skillet directly under broiler. Broil salmon for 5-6 minutes at 500°F, basting once midway through cooking.
- Check salmon’s internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove when surface looks caramelized and glossy.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh minced parsley over salmon before serving.
Notes
- Always pat salmon completely dry before seasoning to ensure a crisp exterior and better caramelization.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transition from stovetop to broiler without transferring dishes.
- Watch the broiler closely since honey-based glazes can burn quickly if positioned too close to heat source.
- For dairy-free adaptation, replace butter with olive oil or coconut oil and ensure soy sauce is gluten-free.
