Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets (around 200-250g / 7-8.5oz each) (NOTE 1)
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 80gm / 2.8oz unsalted butter
  • ½ (50g / 1.8oz) small red onion or shallot (peeled and chopped finely)
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tbsp (60ml / 2floz) honey
  • 2 tbsp (40ml / 1.4floz) light soy sauce (NOTE 2)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp (20ml /0.7floz) lemon juice
  • Optional - finely chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Combine the soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and mix well. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
    mixing sauce
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until it sizzles. Fry the salmon fillets for 3 to 4 minutes per side, adjust the cooking time on how thick the fillets are. Depending on the size of your pan, you might need to do this in 2 batches.

  • Move the salmon to the side of the pan or onto a plate, then add the garlic and onions to the pan and saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Give the soy and honey mixture a quick mix, then pour into pan. Return salmon to the pan, then cook for 4 minutes whilst spooning the sauce over the salmon regularly (sauce won't thicken). Add the lemon juice and continue cooking for another minute. Remove pan from the heat and sprinkle with parsley.

Notes

(NOTE 1) Salmon fillets - Aim for skinless and boneless salmon fish fillets that weigh between 200-250g / 7-8.5oz each.
(NOTE 2) Light soy sauce (or regular soy sauce) – Not to be mistaken with the dark or sweet soy sauce varieties, as these aren’t interchangeable.
Leftovers - Serve this Honey Garlic Butter Salmon dish immediately or while still warm, as reheating can cause the sauce to separate.
