Sticky sweet and garlicky, this glazed salmon recipe comes together in 20 minutes. This recipe is so delish it is in our weeknight dinner rotation and I am so sure that it will be in yours too!
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) Salmon Fillets
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning
GLAZE
- 3 tbs butter
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 tbs water
- 3 tbs soy sauce
- 1 tbs siracha sauce
- 2 tbs lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat salmon dry, then season with salt, pepper, paprika and blackening seasoning (if using). Set aside. Adjust oven rack to middle position, then preheat broiler.
- Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey and lemon juice and cook 30 seconds or so, until sauce is heated through.
- Add salmon, skin side down (if using salmon with skin), and cook 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon.
- Broil salmon for 5-6 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness.
NOTES
- If you'd prefer, season salmon as directed, then pan sear in the pan. Flip over and sear on the other side, then remove to a plate. Add sauce ingredients to pan and cook until warmed through. Add salmon back to pan and spoon sauce over the salmon.
