  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

For the Honey Butter Garlic Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup honey (adjust for sweetness)

Instructions

Step 2: Sear the Salmon

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Coat the Salmon & Serve

Notes

  • Extra Crispy? Use an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 7-8 minutes before tossing in the glaze.
  • Want More Heat? Add ½ tsp sriracha or more red pepper flakes.
  • No Soy Sauce? Substitute with coconut aminos or tamari.
