Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon filets

½ tsp kosher salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

¼ tsp blackening seasoning (optional)

3 Tbsp butter

2 tsp olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup honey

3 Tbsp water

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp sriracha sauce

2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon filets dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning if using.
  2. Preheat the broiler with the oven rack in the middle position to avoid burning the sauce.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Stir in garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Heat until the sauce is warmed through.
  4. Place the salmon filets (skin side down if applicable) in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, basting frequently with the sauce.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 5–6 minutes, basting once more, until the salmon is caramelized and sticky.
  6. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a brighter citrus note, add lemon zest or broil with lemon slices.
  • Substitute lime juice for lemon for a flavor twist.
  • Mix the sauce ahead of time to streamline weeknight prep.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days—great cold on salads!
  • Omit sriracha or use red pepper flakes for milder heat.
