• porții: 4 servings
• timp activ: 10 minutes
• timp total: 20 minutes

Ingrediente

4 salmon fillets (wild caught, about 1/2 pound or 250 grams each, skin off or on)

1/4 teaspoon salt (to season)

1/4 teaspoon pepper (to season)

1/2 teaspoon paprika (mild, sweet or smokey)

2 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic (finely chopped or minced)

4 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon water

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed, plus extra to serve)

2 lemon wedges (to serve)

Instrucțiuni

Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.

Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.

Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water and soy sauce; allow the flavours to heat through and combine. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together.

Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).

Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste). Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.

To serve, drizzle with the sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.
