2 tablespoons lemon juice – I used freshly squeezed lemons, but you can also use jarred lemon juice.
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup white vinegar
Preparation
Pat salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps the salmon not to stick to the skillet and the salmon will get crispy on the outside when cooked.
Start seasoning the Salmon – Place seasoning on a large plate and mix all ingredients well. Dip each side of salmon in the seasoning (salt, black pepper and paprika). Coat the fillet in seasoning. Set the seasoned salmon aside.
Searing the Salmon – Pour oil and melted butter a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add minced garlic and brown lightly. Add salmon and cook on each side 2 – 3 minutes. Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and set salmon aside.
Make the honey glaze sauce using the same skillet the salmon was seared in. Use the oil and melted butter and minced garlic that you just cooked the salmon in. Add honey, lemon juice, brown sugar, water, white vinegar. Cook the honey glaze for 2 – 3 minutes or until honey glaze gets bubbly and is heated through. Continue to stir well as it heats.
Arrange the cooked salmon in the cast iron skillet with cooked honey glaze and continue cooking the salmon for another 2 – 3 minutes on each each side, basting often with honey glaze.
Mangia!

After we finish a film shoot of the cooking show, I clean the cameras and I always notice that they smell like whatever we cooked that day. LOL! I like that, because it’s kinda funny and it reminds me of the good time we had making that delicious food. I cleaned off my cameras this morning and noticed they smelled exactly like Honey Glazed Salmon. Yumm….
