Salmon is on the weekly rotation in our house! It is full of omega 3s which are great for brain health- this is a high priority in our family following Cody’s accident. This recipe is SO amazing! The kids scarf it down!

Honey Garlic Salmon

Ingredients for the Salmon:

• 4-5(6 oz each) salmon filets
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked or regular paprika

Ingredients for the Sauce:

• 2 TBS butter
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic minced- I love the frozen cubes from trader joes
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3 Tbsp coconut aminos or low sodium soy sauce

Optional Toppings:

• Chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Pat salmon dry, then season with salt, pepper, paprika. If needed, you can use a silicone brush to evenly distribute your spices (I had little helpers so our spices were a bit heavy in areas)
2. Adjust oven to middle rack and preheat your broiler
3. Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over med-high heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, and honey and cook for about a minute, until sauce is heated through. Stir frequently to prevent burning
4. Add salmon, skin side down and cook for 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon – this really infuses the flavor!
5. Remove the pan from the stove top, and place in the oven on middle rack. Broil salmon on the middle rack of the oven for 7-8 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness. (If you have thick filets, they may need about 10 minutes)
6. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with brown rice (I buy the frozen bags) and sautéed asparagus.

Planned leftovers? This cold on top of an asian salad kit is so delicious! It is a really quick lunch, and is so satisfying.
