Ingredients

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
4 Salmon Filets
5 Tbsp Honey (divided)
6 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1 Lime (juiced)
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper

Instructions

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan.
Season 4 salmon fillets with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon honey over each fillet (4 tablespoons total). Cook for 3 minutes until a golden brown crust forms.
Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until done and fish is flakey. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, melt 6 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the butter turns golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon honey, and the juice from 1 lime.
Remove the salmon from the heat and drizzle the honey butter sauce over the cooked salmon.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
