    Equipment

    • non-stick frying pan

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 fresh salmon fillets skin on mine was 120g each
    • 2 garlic cloves minced about 1 teaspoon
    • 2 Tablespoon honey
    • 2 Tablespoons Soy sauce
    • Juice of 1 lemon about 2 tablespoons
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • Salt and pepper to season
    • Pinch of chili powder

    Instructions
     

    • Pat the salmon dry with a kitchen paper towel then season it with salt and pepper.
    • Add honey, soy sauce, chilli powder and lemon in a small bowl and mix to combine then set-aside
    • Place a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and heat until shimmering hot. Place the salmon on the hot skillet skin side down and cook untouched for 3 minutes (this will ensure crispy skin). Flip to the other side and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. (be careful so you don't break the fish)
    • Add minced garlic to the skillet and move around quickly (to avoid burning) for about 20 seconds then pour the sauce over the salmon and continue to cook for another 1 minute or until the sauce begins to thicken up. Lighten the sauce with water if it becomes too thick for your liking or until desired consistency is achieved
    • Remove the skillet from the heat and serve salmon with the sauce and any other side of choice and a garnish of chopped spring onions or parsley
