A delightful salmon recipe with a tangy honey-lime glaze that is both easy to prepare and delicious.
Combine the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, Dijon mustard, and water in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Mixing the glaze thoroughly ensures a balanced flavor in every bite.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Preheating the skillet prevents the salmon from sticking.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Press the fillets gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist and tender.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on serving plates.
Letting the salmon rest allows the juices to redistribute.
Pour the glaze into the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
Simmering the glaze intensifies its flavors.
Drizzle the glaze over the salmon fillets and serve immediately.
Garnish with lime wedges or fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
