Ingredients
FOR THE SALMON
- 2 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin on
- Coarse or flaky salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
FOR THE SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopper
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- Juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
- Bring the salmon to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down if using. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and just cooked through.

Notes
Storage and Reheating
Let the salmon cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat with a little butter. Or microwave in short 30-second bursts, loosely covered.
