Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 oz (170g) each
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (14g) olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 2 tbsp (25g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Note: Wet fish will steam, not sear.
  2. Rub each fillet with olive oil. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
  4. Mix until the sugar granules have mostly dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
  5. Generously brush the prepared glaze over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes.
  7. Watch until the fish is opaque but still slightly translucent in the center.
  8. Turn the broiler on for the final 2 minutes.
  9. Broil until the glaze bubbles and turns a deep mahogany brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
