Crispy, tender and juicy salmon fillets pan-fried in the most delicious honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
FOR THE SALMON
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets, each fillet should be around 4-ounces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoky or sweet paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
FOR THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (For a gluten-free option, use Tamari sauce)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- sliced green onions for serving
- lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large (10 to 12 inches) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl combine cumin, paprika, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix until incorporated.
- Season salmon fillets with prepared seasoning and transfer to skillet, skin side down. (PLEASE SEE MY NOTES)
- Cook the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked three quarters of the way through.
- In the meantime, combine honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a bowl; whisk until well combined.
- Flip the fish over and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. (If working in batches, at this point you want to place all your fillets back in the skillet.)
- Wait until butter melts and add minced garlic over the fish.
- Pour the prepared honey soy sauce over the fish and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the fillets while cooking.
- Remove from heat.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges.

COOK’S NOTES
- For best and easiest results, cook 2 salmon fillets at a time. It’s much easier to flip them over when the pan isn’t crowded. When it’s time to add the sauce, just return all the salmon fillets to the pan and continue with the recipe.
- Keep cooked salmon refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
