Easy Honey Garlic Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 250 grams each, skin on or off)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.
2. Season salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
3. Make the sauce: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water, and soy sauce, and let the flavors combine. Stir in the lemon juice.
4. Cook salmon: Add the salmon fillets to the sauce in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper to taste (if desired).
5. Broil/grill: Optionally, add lemon wedges around the salmon. Baste the salmon one more time and transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Broil/grill for 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
6. Serve: Drizzle the salmon with the sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a salad.

Tip: Don't forget to broil/grill the salmon halfway through cooking to achieve those glazed, crispy edges.
