Ingredients

1 lb salmon cut into 4 filets
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Sauce

2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons reduced sodium tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional (I don’t use)
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
2 Tablespoons honey, 2 Tablespoons reduced sodium tamari, 1 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Pat salmon dry with a paper towel.
Heat oil over medium heat. Once hot add salmon to the skillet, skin side up and cook 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes, until golden brown. Reduce heat to low, flip salmon so the skin is up again and the flesh will be cooking in the honey glaze.
1 lb salmon
Add sauce to the skillet and simmer on low until fish is fork-tender and liquid starts to reduce and thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove salmon from skillet, drizzle remaining sauce over the salmon and serve immediately.

Notes

Storing leftovers: Let the salmon cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or extra glaze to keep it from drying out. A microwave works too, just use short intervals.
