Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon filets
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
• 1/4 tsp blackening seasoning (optional)

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the salmon fillets. Season evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning if using. Set aside.
2. Move the oven rack to the center position and preheat the broiler. Keeping the rack lower helps prevent the sauce from burning.
3. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, stir in the garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Cook briefly, about 30 seconds, until the mixture is hot and well combined.
4. Carefully place the salmon into the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3 minutes, frequently spooning the sauce over the tops of the fillets as they cook.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 5–6 minutes. Halfway through broiling, baste the salmon once more with the sauce. Cook until the salmon is glazed, caramelized, and reaches your desired level of doneness.
6. Remove from the oven and garnish with minced parsley if desired before serving.

• If you prefer not to broil, you can fully cook the salmon on the stovetop. Sear the seasoned salmon on both sides, remove it from the pan, prepare the sauce, then return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
• If the sauce seems thinner than expected, reduce the amount of water slightly or let the sauce simmer longer before adding the salmon.
