To begin the browned butter lemon sauce, melt butter in the skillet until the butter begins to brown slightly, about 1½ to 2 minutes. Place the salmon in the pan, skin side up. Place lemon slices around salmon. Sear the salmon until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

With salmon, meat side up. Drizzle with honey on top of the salmon, and place lemon slices on top of the salmon.
