This Honey Lemon Glaze for the salmon is everything. It is sweet, and lemony and also has a savory note to it. A really well-balanced sauce and trust me you will end up licking the sauce right from the pan.

Cook minced ginger and minced garlic until aromatic. Then add soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, and chicken stock to the pan. Let it simmer and slightly thicken. It needs to be of light syrup consistency so that it sticks to the salmon.

Tips To Cook Salmon on the Stove

Worried about cooking salmon on the stove, that it might fall apart while flipping? What of it is undercooked or gets overcooked? With the right techniques, you can get perfectly cooked Salmon with crispy skin every single time.

1. It is always best to use fresh salmon fillets, as they are firm and easy to handle. If using frozen fillets, make sure you pick the ones that are thick.
2. Keep the skin on. It is easy to cook salmon with skin on, as it prevents the fillets from sticking at the bottom. And crispy skin Salmon is delicious.
3. Pat dry Salmon to remove extra moisture, to ensure the skin gets crispy. When the skin gets crispy, it leaves the pan easily.
4. Use a heavy bottom skillet to sear Salmon. It should be well-seasoned to prevent sticking.
5. Use a large skillet and place the fillets a little apart. If kept too close, instead of searing, the fillet will start to steam and you will end up with soggy skin.
6. Another important step, once you put the salmon on a hot skillet, cook it undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Once the skin is crispy and the bottom half of the fillet look firm, then flip.

Steps to Make Honey-Glazed Salmon

I love it when recipes call for simple ingredients and involve a few steps. This Salmon recipe with lemon Honey glaze is super quick to make.

1. Start by coating the salmon fillets with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coating with flour makes the fillets crispy from all sides and also the sauce sticks better. Shake off the extra flour.
2. Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. When the pan is nicely hot, put the coated salmon fillet’s skin side down. Cook until crispy and flip. Remove the fillets and keep them aside.
3. To the same skillet, add butter followed by minced garlic. Cook until aromatic, then add all the sauce ingredients. Cook until the sauce has thickened a bit.
4. Add the fillets back to the pan and toss in the sauce.
5. Serve.

Serving Suggestion

Serve Honey Glazed Salmon along with some roasted veggies. I love to make rice bowls with rice, glazed salmon, and veggies like roasted Asparagus, Brocolli, or green beans.
