Ingredients
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 clove garlic
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 18 oz salmon fillets
- 1 tsp olive oil
Make the Honey Garlic Glaze
Whisk together the honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the glaze over the fish, seal, and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavors absorb.
Pan-Sear the Fillets
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon flesh-side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist in the center.
