Honey Baked Salmon

This salmon is the best you will ever eat! If you like skin-on salmon, this recipie gives the skin a nice crust. If not, that's fine! Just be aware that on side of your salmon will get a little crispy! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 wild caught salmon fillets about 1/2 pound or 250 grams each, skin off or on

• Salt and pepper, to season

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (mild, sweet or smokey)

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced

• 4 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon water

• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice, (plus extra to serve)

• Lemon wedges to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

• Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.

• Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.

• Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water and soy sauce; allow the flavours to heat through and combine. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together. Be careful not to overcook the sauce, or it will all evaporate and you'll need to start over.

• Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).

• Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste). Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.

• Serve with rice, asparugas, potatoes, lemon, and All Purpose Sauce
