Ingredients
Scale
- 18 oz. wild Atlantic salmon, sliced into 3 oz. portions
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 Tbsp honey (42g)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Add the honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to a small bowl, then whisk until smooth.
- Set the salmon pieces inside a large resealable bag. Pour in the marinade, remove extra air from the bag, and seal it tightly. Turn the salmon gently so each piece is coated, then chill flesh-side down for 10-15 minutes.
- Coat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil, add the salmon flesh-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes.
Notes
- Use two batches if the skillet feels crowded, since tightly packed salmon may need extra cooking time.
