Sweet Glazed Salmon

Recipe View 2 mins Prepare the Garlic-Infused Oil: Heat 1/4 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the minced garlic until it just begins to turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Recipe View 5 mins Craft the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the sautéed garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Add the sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to ensure the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Recipe View 4 hrs Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag, removing any excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.

Recipe View 2 mins Prepare for Cooking: Remove the salmon from the marinade, gently shaking off any excess liquid. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade for basting. Discard the remaining marinade.

Recipe View 1 mins Cook the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet. Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon.

Recipe View 6 mins Cook to Perfection: Cover the skillet and cook the salmon, occasionally spooning the liquid from the pan over the fillets, until the salmon is browned and flakes easily with a fork. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Recipe View Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish the salmon with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
