Ingredients
- •Butter(60g)
- •Honey(60g)
- •Garlic(180g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(30g)
- •Salmon(227g)
- •Lemon
- •2 pinches salt (to taste)
Instructions
- 1Place the butter in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe frying pan over medium heat. Stir and swirl the pan occasionally for about 3 minutes until the foam settles, the butter turns golden brown, and it develops a nutty aroma.
- 2Pour the honey into the browned butter and stir for about 30 seconds until dissolved. Add the minced fresh garlic and sauté for 1 minute over medium heat until fragrant.
- 3Stir in the fresh lemon juice and combine all flavors together.
- 4Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 3–4 minutes, basting the tops with pan juices frequently, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- 5Arrange the lemon wedges around the salmon in the pan. Transfer the entire skillet to a preheated broiler set 8 inches from the heat element. Broil for 5–6 minutes until the salmon tops are lightly charred and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- 6Remove the skillet from the broiler and let rest for 1 minute.
- 7Divide the salmon, lemon wedges, and pan sauce evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
