I’m going to be a little lazy about it and just tell you, you need to try this salmon! It is really the best salmon I have ever eaten! I saw this recipe over Epicurious, from Gourmet Magazine. I will be honest, Gourmet Magazine is sometimes too “gourmet” for me. Their version of this however looked awesome! Simple yet incredible.
Pan Seared Honey Glazed Salmon
I created my own version by jazzing it up to suit my taste. Rather than grilling it I pan seared it, obviously. I wanted a tiny bit of sweet to balance out the citrus-y tang so I added honey, and what better way to get that perfectly golden brown, crisp crust then to pan sear it along with a little sprinkling of flour? I also thought if you’re going to make butter one of the main components of the dish then you may as well brown it and add another layer of delicious flavor. It’s amazing how well the citrus of the lime, the silky sweet of the honey and the deep, rich flavor of the browned butter go together. Browning butter takes a little extra time and attention, but it is ALWAYS worth it—I promise! Browned butter is incredible! They all compliment the salmon perfectly. I can tell you now, the majority of the time this is going to be my go to salmon recipe. Not only does it taste phenomenal but it is incredibly easy to make. Serve this alongside some roasted asparagus and garlic mashed red potatoes and you’ve got a delicious, elegant meal definitely set to impress. Enjoy!
