Ingredients

• 4 salmon filets skin on

Preparation

Step 1

Season salmon with salt and pepper.

Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat.

Step 3

Once hot add in the salmon skin side down.

Step 4

Cook salmon for 5 - 7 minutes on skin side (depending on size).

Step 5

Very carefully flip salmon. If the skin is sticking to the pan give it more time to cook. It should release easily from the pan.

Step 6

Add garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Combine honey and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add the sauce to the pan.

Step 8

Continue cooking for 1 - 3 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and looks opaque and the sauce is thick.

Step 9

Take off of the heat. When the salmon is cool enough to handle peel off the skin.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
