Description
Experience the perfect balance of flavors with tender salmon glazed in sweet and spicy hot honey, served with fresh lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet: Place your non-stick skillet on medium-high heat, allowing it to warm while you prepare the salmon. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers.
- Season the salmon: Generously sprinkle salt and pepper over the salmon fillets on all sides, ensuring every bite carries flavor.
- Cook the salmon: Gently lay the fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Flip and honey drizzle: Once a golden crust develops, flip the salmon carefully using your spatula. Drizzle the hot honey generously over the top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve and enjoy: Plate your glorious creation and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick.
Notes
For deeper flavor, consider marinating the salmon in hot honey and seasoning a few hours in advance. Experiment with the heat level by adding more hot honey or mixing in garlic powder.
