Ingredients

8 servings
  • Unsalted Butter(80g)
  • Honey(60g)
  • Garlic(240g)
  • Lime Juice, Fresh
  • Salmon(1134g)
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • Cracked Pepper (To Taste, Optional)
  • lime slices (to serve)
  • Parsley, Fresh(60g)

Instructions

  1. 1Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, about 2–3 minutes until foaming. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  2. 2Remove from heat and whisk in the honey and lime juice until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. 3Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and divide the fillets evenly among 8 portions on a large stovetop-safe skillet or two medium skillets. Season each portion with salt and pepper.
  4. 4Pour the honey-lime-garlic butter sauce evenly over the salmon fillets. Cover the skillet tightly with foil or a lid.
  5. 5Cook over medium heat for 12–15 minutes until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, with an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part.
  6. 6Remove foil and place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and the top develops light golden-brown spots.
  7. 7Remove from heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley evenly over all fillets while still hot.
  8. 8Divide the salmon and sauce evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
