Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place them in a large pan over medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes per side, taking care when flipping not to break the fillet. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add the butter, garlic, honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice in the pan. Whisk to combine. Heat over medium high heat until bubbly and slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the salmon back to the pan. Spoon the bubbling sauce over the top of the fillets. Cook for 2-3 mins, until heated through.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be cooked on a low enough heat that the white albumin doesn't form and only be cooked to 120-130 degrees F.
