# Ingredients:
→ Salmon and Seasoning
01 -
24 oz boneless, skinless salmon filet (cut into 6 pieces, 4 oz each)
02 -
1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
03 -
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
04 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
05 -
2 Tbsp light olive oil (or any high-heat cooking oil)
→ Honey Glaze
06 -
1/4 cup honey
07 -
2 Tbsp soy sauce
→ Garnish
08 -
1 lime, cut into wedges
09 -
1 Tbsp chives, chopped (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbsp soy sauce in a measuring cup until well combined. Set aside while you prepare the salmon.
02 -
Sprinkle both sides of your salmon fillets with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Pour the flour onto a shallow plate and gently coat both sides of each salmon piece, making sure to shake off any excess.
03 -
Heat your large non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. While the pan is heating, brush one side of the salmon generously with half of your honey glaze.
04 -
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon in the pan with the glazed side down. While it's cooking, brush the top side with the remaining glaze. Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side until caramelized, then carefully flip and cook another 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
05 -
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top of your caramelized salmon and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:

This honey-glazed salmon is juicy, flaky, and deeply satisfying. It's perfect served with steamy, fluffy white rice for a complete meal.
