Ingredients
Honey-Garlic Glaze
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Salmon Preparation
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil divided

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. oil. When oil is hot but not smoking, add salmon skin side up; season with salt and black pepper. Cook until flesh is just heated through and seared, about 2 minutes.
