Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Whisk
  • 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.
