Honey Glazed Salmon - serves 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
For the salmon:
4 salmon filets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
Zest of 1 lime
For the Browned Butter-Lime Sauce
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Season salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon of flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of honey.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat.
Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden.
Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-
10 minutes.
Serve immediately with the browned butter-lime sauce and lime zest.
What did I think of this dish? It was delicious and I look forward to making it again.
After searing I cooked mine in the oven for 15 minutes. My fish may have been a little thicker and you have to adjust cooking time. Otherwise, I followed the recipe.
A simple salad of spring greens with grape tomatoes, small pieces of cauliflower, cucumbers and green onion went very well with this. You can use your favorite dressing and your favorite vegetables. I grew up without dressings on my salads so prefer going without most of the time.
Thanks for looking, enjoy your day and
Simple food is so often the best.
