Honey-glazed salted salmon

This honey-glazed salted salmon recipe is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful dish that is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
7g
4 oz salmon
110g
4 dash salt
1.60g
1/2 tbsp honey
10g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help in getting a better sear.
2. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle the 4 dashes of salt evenly over both sides of the salmon fillet. Rub it in gently so that the salt adheres to the fish.
3. Heating the Pan:
- Place a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Let the oil heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.
4. Cooking the Salmon:
- Carefully place the salmon fillet in the hot skillet skin-side down if it has skin. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until the flesh becomes opaque and the fish is mostly cooked through. Avoid moving the salmon too much to ensure a nice sear.
5. Flip and Glaze:
- Flip the salmon fillet carefully using a spatula. Drizzle the 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the top of the salmon, spreading it evenly.
6. Finishing:
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The honey will start to bubble and caramelize, creating a tasty glaze. Be cautious not to burn the honey – it should turn a lovely golden brown.
7. Serving:
- Remove the salmon from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Allow it to rest for a minute to retain its juiciness.
8. Optional Garnishing:
- If desired, garnish with finely chopped herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.

Tips:

- Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before cooking to ensure a nice sear and prevent it from sticking to the pan.

- Use a non-stick skillet to make the cooking process smoother and to preserve the glaze on the salmon.

- Do not overcook the salmon; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This helps keep the fish moist and flavorful.

- If you have extra time, you can marinate the salmon in half of the honey for a more intense flavor.

With minimal effort and a handful of ingredients, you can create this delicious honey-glazed salted salmon. It’s a perfect option for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Enjoy the combination of sweet honey and savory salt, along with the richness of the salmon.
