1 Spatula

Ingredients

Salmon and Glaze

4 salmon fillets skin-on
1/4 cup honey
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil

Vegetables

1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup bell peppers sliced
1 cup asparagus trimmed

Instructions

Preparation

Pat dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel. Prepare the vegetables by washing and cutting them to the desired size.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice until well combined.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes, then flip and pour the glaze over the top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Add the prepared vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Serving

Arrange the salmon fillets on a serving platter and surround them with the sautéed vegetables. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.

Storage

Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Select wild-caught salmon for superior taste.
Ingredient Substitutions: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness.
How to Serve: Serve with a side of quinoa or brown rice.
Storage & Freshness: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the glaze in advance and store in the fridge until ready to use.
