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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Flip the salmon fillet carefully using a spatula. Drizzle the 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the top of the salmon, spreading it evenly.
- 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.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Allow it to rest for a minute to retain its juiciness.
- 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.
