My Browned Butter Honey Glazed Salmon is better than yours (& I don’t even know you)

Well, my husband kinda got ignored at the meat counter, so he over-reacted and bought extra to prove a point.  I have no idea what the point was- but I do know it made for a delicious dinner.

These thick salmon steaks were so tender and buttery- they were better than trout. I never eat fish skin- but this was decadent.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbls unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • -2 tbls fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 salmon steaks- skin on
  • Lemon wedges (to serve)
  • Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

    • Reset rack in over to about 8-inches away from top. Preheat your oven to broil high.
    • Place butter in a cast iron skillet.  Cook over medium heat, stirring and swirling pan occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until the foam settles; the butter begins to change in color to golden brown and has a nutty fragrance.
    • Pour in the honey and let it dissolve into the butter. Then add in the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavors together.
    • Add the salmon steaks to the butter in the pan; cook each fillet for 4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    • Add the lemon wedges around the salmon. Transfer the pan to your oven to broil for 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred.
    • To serve, drizzle with the reserved brown butter sauce. Serve with steamed broccoli and jasmine rice- soy sauce on the side
