This honey garlic salmon recipe is fast, simple, and uses pantry ingredients! The honey garlic sauce is addictive, and your whole family will love this easy weeknight dinner.
Cut the salmon into 4 pieces and then season it with salt & pepper.
Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat, and when it's hot, add the salmon skin side up. Cook it for 4-5 minutes/side or until it's just cooked through. If the oil is splattering everywhere, turn the heat down a bit.
Meanwhile, add the lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, and garlic to a bowl and stir until it's mixed.
Transfer the fish to a plate.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and let it bubble for a couple of minutes to reduce it a bit and cook the garlic. Add the fish back to the pan and spoon the sauce over it. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and top with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
The timing is for salmon that's about 1" thick. Lower cooking time for thinner salmon or skinless salmon.
