🧈🍯 Garlic Honey Butter Salmon
Sweet, savory, and buttery — this salmon is glazed with a luscious honey-garlic butter sauce, making weeknight dinners feel like a special occasion! 🐟✨
🛒 Ingredients
2 salmon fillets
60 g (½ stick) unsalted butter
2 tbsp honey
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of ½ lemon
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp onion powder
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Salmon – Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Honey Butter – In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Mix in honey and lemon juice, whisking to combine.
3️⃣ Cook the Salmon – Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down (if applicable), and cook 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
4️⃣ Glaze – Spoon the garlic honey butter over the salmon during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
5️⃣ Serve – Plate the salmon, drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with lemon wedges or fresh herbs.
💡 Tips:
For a crispier finish, sear the salmon skin-side down longer before flipping.
Serve with steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
