1-Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Pat the salmon filets dry and season them with the salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning if you’re using it. This helps the flavors stick and gives the fish a nice base. Set them aside while you get the pan ready for cooking.

2-Step 2: Heat the Pan In a large pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and lemon juice, cooking for about 30 seconds to warm the sauce through. This step builds the glaze that makes the salmon special.

3-Step 3: Cook the Salmon Place the salmon filets in the pan, skin side down if they have skin, and cook for 3 minutes while basting frequently with the sauce. For a full cook, broil the salmon for 5-6 minutes, basting once, until it’s caramelized and done to your liking. Alternatively, sear on both sides, remove to a plate, simmer the sauce, then return the salmon to coat it well.
Garnish with minced parsley if you want an extra touch. The total time is about 18 minutes, with 8 minutes for prep and 10 for cooking, making it perfect for quick dinners.
