Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon


 OK... This recipe didn't turn out like I wanted, but there's potential and I have added some suggestions. A Note on the original recipe said people complained about the sauce being too watery. I'm one of them! Tasted good, but never thickened.

Ingredient

Salmon

  • 4 ea 6 oz salmon filets
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • smoked paprika to taste
  • Mrs Dash Extra Spicy to taste
    • I say to taste, because 1/2 tsp of salt on something is way too much like the original recipe calls for!!!
Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter or margarine
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (maybe just 1 teaspoon)
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon PF Chang's Sweet Chile sauce (optional)
Directions
  1. Pat salmon dry, then season. Set aside to rest. It had a hard day and it will get worse soon!
  2. Put in all Sauce Ingredients In a medium sauce pan, and simmer over medium heat until melted and hot. This is where I deviate from the original recipe... Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature to thicken, or.... simmer longer to reduce the liquid down 50%.  Try both and let me know which works best.
  3. In a medium hot pan, spray cooking oil in pan and place salmon skin-side down.
  4. Cook 3-4 minutes, but don't burn the skin.
  5. Flip over and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Flip back over and watching the salmon very closely, increase temperature to hot to sear the skin and make crispy. Remove from the pan immediately. Don't over cook it!!!
  7. Pour (hopefully) the thickened sauce over salmon and serve right away.
  8. Garnish with green onions.
