Fiery Honey-Garlic Glazed Salmon

This salmon is the weeknight dinner hero you never knew you needed — sticky, spicy, and deeply savory all at once. The glaze caramelizes beautifully in a hot skillet, giving you that glossy restaurant-worthy finish without leaving your kitchen. Fair warning: you will absolutely be licking the spoon before it hits the fish.

Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on
• 3 tbsp honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• to taste salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice until fully combined.
3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Place salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet and sear for 3 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip to skin-side down.
5. Pour the honey-garlic glaze over the fillets, spooning it on top so each piece is fully coated.
6. Reduce heat to medium and cook for another 4-5 minutes, spooning the thickening glaze over the salmon every minute, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove from heat, let rest for 2 minutes, then plate and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top before serving.
