Directions
Directions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down, if using skin-on fillets, and cook for 4–5 minutes
- Flip the salmon and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until almost cooked through. Transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken into a glossy glaze.
- Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over each fillet. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and beautifully coated.
- Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the salmon. Garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
