Easy Pan-Seared Salmon
Serves 2
Salmon is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B! Prepare pan-seared salmon tonight for a healthy, satisfying meal that will come together in minutes. Pairs great with a side salad.
Ingredients:
Salmon fillet (4-6 oz), about 1/2" thick, cut in half
Glaze ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon fresh orange juice
pinch of kosher salt
Directions:
1. Make the salmon glaze. In a small skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook the garlic until it is fragrant, and then add remaining glaze ingredients. Stir to combine.
2. Turn heat to medium-high, and add the salmon to the glaze, skin side up. Depending on the size of your salmon fillet, sear 2-3 minutes. Flip once and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Salmon should be seared on the outside, but still tender on the inside. Internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F.
3. Remove from heat and enjoy immediately!
