Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 fillets salmon fillets skin-on or skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and black pepper to season
For the Honey Garlic Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for heat
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3–4 minutes without moving.

- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the glaze into the skillet. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, spooning sauce over the salmon until the glaze thickens and coats the fillets.
