1-Getting started: with this honey garlic salmon is simple and fun, taking just about 8 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook. Begin by patting the salmon dry and seasoning it with the salt, pepper, paprika, and optional blackening seasoning for a flavorful base. This step ensures the fish absorbs the spices evenly, setting the stage for a caramelized finish.

2-Next, preheat your broiler and adjust the oven rack to the middle position for even cooking. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium-high heat to create a rich base. Add the minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice, stirring until the sauce heats through in about 30 seconds this quick mix builds the signature glaze.

3-Place the salmon in the pan, skin side down if it has skin, and cook for 3 minutes while basting frequently with the sauce. This helps lock in moisture and adds that glossy finish. Then, transfer the skillet to the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once more halfway through, until the salmon is caramelized and cooked to your liking. Finally, garnish with minced parsley if desired, and serve it up it’s that straightforward!
