Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 2 lbs salmon filets fresh or frozen
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
For the Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce optional
For Cooking
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For Serving
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
- If using frozen salmon, thaw it first. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika, or just the side without skin if using skin-on fillets. Set the salmon aside while you prepare the sauce.2 lbs salmon filets, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp paprika
- Adjust your oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler. Note: You don't want the oven rack too close to the broiler or the sauce will burn.
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.6 cloves garlic, ½ cup honey, ¼ cup water, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- In a broiler-safe pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.3 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp olive oil
- Once the butter is melted, add the sauce to the pan and heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the salmon to the pan, skin side down if using skin-on fillets. Cook for 3 minutes, frequently spooning the sauce over the top as it cooks.
- Transfer the pan of salmon to the preheated oven. Broil for 3 minutes, then spoon some of the sauce from the pan over the salmon and return it to the oven for another 2–3 minutes, until lightly caramelized.
- Remove the pan from the oven, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with a side of your favorite rice.1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, cooked rice
