how to make browned butter honey garlic salmon:

• The first step is to have all of your ingredients together and ready for you when you start cooking. This recipe moves fast.
• Adjust your oven shelf at least 8-inches away from the heat element in your oven to prevent burning.
• When browning butter, the heat needs to be on medium-high. After your butter melts, watch it continuously while it bubbles up, then foams and starts to give off a nutty aroma. At this point, stir it occasionally and swirl the pan carefully until the foam subsides. You’ll be left with a dark golden hue and some charred bits on the bottom of your pan. From here you need to act quick.
• Allow the honey to melt completely though the browned butter before adding garlic.
• When adding lemon juice, be careful of the butter splattering.
• Add the salmon with the top facing up (skin-side down) and baste it while it cooks in the skillet.
• Before broiling, you can add lemon wedges around your salmon if you like your sauces to take on more of a citrus flavour OR leave them out for a milder taste.
• While broiling, keep an eye on the salmon as it can easily go from slightly charred to burnt very quickly. Put your timer on for 3 minutes and keep watching from there.

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter (reduced fat, or Ghee)
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed, or juice of half a lemon)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 4 salmon fillets
• sea salt
• lemon wedges (to serve)

Instructions

• Arrange oven shelf about 8-inches away from heat element in your oven. Preheat your oven to broil (or grill in Australia).
• Place butter in a cast iron skillet (or an oven-proof frying pan if you don’t have a skillet). Cook over medium heat, stirring and swirling pan occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until the foam settles; the butter begins to change in colour to golden brown and has a nutty fragrance.
• Pour in the honey and let it dissolve into the butter. Then add in the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together.
• Add the salmon steaks to the butter in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there’s any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add the lemon wedges around the salmon. Transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred.
• To serve, drizzle with the reserved brown butter sauce. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.

Notes

*For a mild garlic taste, use 2 cloves. For more flavour in your sauce, use 3 cloves!Oven Baked Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 410°F (210°C).
2. Follow Steps 2-3 as above.
3. At Step 4 when adding the fillets into the skillet, transfer to oven to bake for 4 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of your fillets).
4. Broil (or grill) for 2 minutes to get nice charred edges.
