Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • a pinch each salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ of a lemon sliced into rounds
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil enough to coat the bottom of the skillet

Instructions

  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the honey, lemon juice, water, parsley, salt, cayenne, and pepper; stir well. Place the salmon on a large plate and pour the honey mixture over the salmon. Let it marinate for 10-20 minutes while you mince the garlic and slice the lemon.
  • Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet or other non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the salmon and marinade in the skillet and cook, turning with fish tongs (preferred) once, until cooked through and slightly browned on top, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down, add the garlic and sliced lemon, and stir the garlic for 1 minute until softened.
