Ingredients
2 Salmon fillets
60 g (half stick) Butter
2 tbsp Honey
2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
Juice of half a Lemon
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Black pepper
½ tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Seafood seasoning (Old Bay seasoning or similar)
Directions
Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or prepare a skillet over medium-high heat for stovetop cooking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and seafood seasoning.
Make the Garlic Honey Butter:
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
4. Stir in the honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and well combined.
Cook the Salmon:Option 1: Oven-Baked
5. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
6. Brush the honey butter mixture generously over the salmon.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Option 2: Pan-Seared
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan.
9. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
10. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the honey butter mixture over the salmon. Spoon the glaze over the fillets while cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve:
11. Remove the salmon from the oven or skillet and let it rest for a minute. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
