Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 4 salmon fillets 8 ounces each (225g) skin on or off, patted dry with paper towels
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 5 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Equipment

  • Pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Season the salmon fillets with paprika, salt, and pepper. Press the seasonings into the flesh.
  2. Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down first. Press the filets lightly with your spatula for full contact with the pan. Flip after a few minutes, then remove them to a plate when done.
  3. Keep the melted butter in the pan. Add the garlic, honey, water, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Cook for a couple minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Return the cooked salmon filets to the pan. Cover them with sauce. Cook a couple more minutes until the glaze incorporates with the fish. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley, then serve.
