Ingredients
Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 4 salmon filets
Supporting Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon blackening seasoning
Sauce and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat 4 salmon fillets dry and generously sprinkle ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp paprika, and ¼ tsp blackening seasoning across your fish.
- Melt 3 Tbsp butter with 2 tsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until butter is completely liquefied and bubbling.
- Add 6 minced garlic cloves to the butter mixture and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour ½ cup honey, 3 Tbsp water, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sriracha, and 2 Tbsp lemon juice into the saucepan, stirring continuously.
- Simmer the glaze on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes, watching for it to thicken and reduce slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F or prepare your grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook salmon for 10-12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, ensuring fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Generously brush your cooked salmon with the warm honey garlic glaze just before serving.
Notes
- Salt helps draw out moisture, creating a better sear on your salmon fillets before glazing.
- Letting the glaze simmer reduces it to a rich, sticky consistency that clings perfectly to the fish.
- Fresh garlic provides the most robust flavor, so avoid using pre-minced garlic from a jar if possible.
- For a low-carb option, replace honey with a sugar-free sweetener like monk fruit syrup to keep the glaze’s texture and shine.
