Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the fillets with a dash of salt and pepper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable.
- Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- While the salmon is cooking, peel and finely mince 3 garlic cloves.
- Reduce the heat to medium and push the salmon fillets to one side of the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the empty space in the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not burnt.
- Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the salmon and garlic, and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of red pepper over the top.
- Carefully tilt the skillet to spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets.
- Let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly, glazing the salmon beautifully.
- Slice 1/2 lemon thinly and add the slices to the skillet for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
- Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the salmon.
- Serve the Honey Garlic Salmon with lemon and red pepper hot, paired with your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- For an extra crispy texture, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- Marinate the salmon in the honey, lemon juice, and garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a brighter, more natural flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon to ensure it remains tender and juicy.
Voilà! Your honey garlic salmon with lemon and red pepper is ready to be savored. The fusion of sweet honey, spicy red pepper, and tangy lemon creates a spectacular taste experience. Serve it with your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal.
