Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets boneless skinless Salmon brought to room temp, preferably around 7oz/200g each
  • 1/3 cup Honey 110g
  • 6 tbsp Butter preferably unsalted (3oz / 90g)
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 clove Garlic finely diced
  • 0.5 tsp Chilli Flakes or more to taste
  • Salt & Pepper as needed
  • Olive Oil as needed
  • Spring Onion finely diced, to serve (optional)

Equipment

  • Non-stick Pan

Method
 

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels then season all over with salt & pepper.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon upside-down and cook for 3 minutes, or until a golden crust forms. Flip them over and fry for 1 minute.
  3. Move the fillets to the top of the pan and drop butter into the bottom of the pan. Tilt the pan and baste the salmon for 1-2 minutes, or until the other side starts to turn golden. Remove and place to one side.
  4. Lower heat to low-medium and add in garlic and chilli flakes. Fry for 10-20 seconds, then stir in honey, vinegar & soy sauce. Continue stirring over a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens to a thin caramel consistency, about 5 minutes. Check seasoning and adjust if needed.
  5. Add the salmon back in and baste over the sauce. Serve with your preferred amount of sauce and finely diced spring onions.
