Honey Garlic Salmon

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Season salmon pieces on each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and red pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together honey and soy sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Add two tablespoons of butter to cast iron pan over medium heat. Add smashed garlic and salmon pieces and sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side just until nice crust forms.

Step 5

Pour honey mixture over salmon pieces with spoon. Squeeze lemon juice from slices over salmon and add slices to pan.

Step 6

Transfer pan to oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes until salmon is cooked to medium. Add 2-3 additional minutes if you prefer your salmon a bit more well-done. Enjoy!
