A delightful and easy-to-make salmon recipe with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze.
Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the salmon to prevent sticking.
Season the salmon fillets with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before seasoning for better searing.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Avoid moving the salmon during searing to allow a crispy crust to form.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and cooked through.
Use a spatula to gently flip the salmon to avoid breaking it.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Mix the glaze ingredients thoroughly to ensure a balanced flavor.
Pour the glaze over the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to low when adding the glaze to prevent burning.
Serve the salmon fillets hot, garnished with additional chili flakes or fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the salmon at its best flavor and texture.
