Honey Garlic Salmon

This is one of our go-to, easy recipes!  It's sweet and garlicky and uses ingredients most of us keep on hand!  Enjoy! -Claire

Ingredients:

• 3 or 4 Salmon filets-wild-caught sockeye is what we often use, we would not ever use farm-raised! (adjust quantities below for more or less salmon filets)
• salt
• black pepper
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 4 Tablespoons honey
• 2 Tablespoons warm water
• 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice (I prefer lemon juice but the vinegar works fine)
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1-3 cloves, garlic, minced (depending on the size of the cloves)
• 1/2 lemon, sliced into wedges
• 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Season the fleshly side of the salmon with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.  
2. Mix the honey, water, vinegar or lemon juice and a pinch of salt together.  Stir to combine well.
3. Heat olive oil in skillet on medium high heat.  Add the olive oil. Pan fry the salmon, skin side down first, for about 1 minute.  Turn the salmon over and cook for about 1 minute.  Turn it over again so the skin side is at the bottom.
4. Add the garlic into the pan.  Add the honey mixture and reduce the sauce by about half.
5. Top the salmon with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
