Skillet Glazed Salmon Recipe for 4

Instructions:

1. Pat each salmon fillet thoroughly on all sides with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
2. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, reduced-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
4. Place a 12-inch cast iron or heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Heat until the oil shimmers.
5. Place salmon fillets flesh-side down in the pan. Press gently and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
6. Carefully flip the fillets to the skin side and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
7. Pour the honey-garlic mixture directly into the pan around the fillets.
8. Baste the salmon continuously with a spoon as the sauce bubbles and thickens for 1–2 minutes.
9. Remove from heat once the glaze reaches a syrupy consistency and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
