SEARED SALMON
Ingredients
Salmon
Butter
1 tbsp Mustard
2-3 Minced Garlic Cloves
tbsp Hot Honey
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp Salt and Black Pepper
1 tsp Paprika
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Directions
Pat salmon dry, then season with salt and pepper, hot honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, mustard, paprika
Let salmon marinate overnight or can cook after letting sit for 20 minutes
If going to let the salmon marinate put in a Tupperware jar or a zip-loc bag would work as well. I prefer the Tupperware just to ensure the salmon stays fully in tack
Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic
Add salmon, skin side down (if using salmon with skin), and cook for 3 minutes. While the salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon.
Want a nice sear on the salmon
Add honey prior to putting it in the oven
Broil salmon for 5-6 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to the desired doneness.
Garnish with parsley if desired.
Important Notes:
A cast iron skillet is recommended.
