Description
This Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon is sweet, savory, and perfectly pan-seared with a sticky glaze that caramelizes into golden perfection. Tender and flaky on the inside, crisp and flavorful on the outside—this dish turns simple ingredients into a gourmet weeknight win.
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice or rice vinegar
Instructions
Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place salmon skin-side up and sear 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook 2–3 more minutes.
Lower heat to medium. Push salmon to the side of the pan and add garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened (1–2 minutes), spooning sauce over salmon as it glazes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with rice or veggies.
