Servings: 4
Ingredients
Browned-Butter Lime Sauce:
- 6 Tbsps unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Juice of 1 lime, (zest set aside for garnish)
- Salt, sea salt or kosher
- Freshly ground black pepper
Honey-Lime Glazed Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (preferred) or skinless
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 Tbsps canola oil
- Zest of 1 lime, set aside for garnish
- Salt, sea salt or kosher
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- MAKE THE BROWNED-BUTTER LIME SAUCE: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. While whisking constantly, cook the butter until the foam subsides and it turns a golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, honey, lime juice, and salt and round black pepper, to taste. Remove from heat; set aside.
- MAKE THE HONEY-LIME GLAZED SALMON: Season the salmon with salt and ground black pepper. Dredge each salmon fillet with 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour on all sides, then drizzle each fillet with 1 Tbsp honey on both sides.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon flesh-side down (top side) and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the fish over, grill for 1-2 more minutes.
- Transfer the salmon skillet to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. Serve immediately with the browned butter sauce spooned over the salmon and garnished with the lime zest.
