Pro Tips for Cooking the Perfect Salmon

• Don’t Overcook – Salmon is ready when the color changes to a lighter shade but still looks slightly pink in the center.
• Use High-Quality Butter – Browned butter adds a rich, nutty flavor, but be careful not to burn it.
• Broiling for the Best Texture – I prefer to broil my salmon on the top rack for a delicious, slightly charred finish.
• Properly Prep Your Fish – Always rinse salmon fillets and pat them dry to remove excess moisture before seasoning.

Prep Time: 5-10 minutes           Cook Time: 10 minutes 

Serving size: 3 Salmon Fillets 

Ingredients

• 1.3 pound fillet or three medium-size salmon fillets, with skin
• Lawry’s Garlic Salt seasoning to taste
• pinch of black pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, grated then minced
• 5 tablespoons honey
• 1 ½ Lemon (1 for wedges + squeezed lemon juice)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• parsley flakes

Instructions:

1. Prep the Salmon: Rinse the fresh salmon fillets, then pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly season with garlic salt and black pepper, then set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to Broil on high heat and place the oven rack on the top level for that rich, even browning.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add butter. Let it melt and cook until light brown specks form at the bottom. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in honey, squeeze fresh lemon juice, and mix well. Add Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
4. Cook the Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan, then baste the tops with the honey butter sauce. Lightly season again with garlic salt and black pepper.
5. Broil: Add lemon wedges to the skillet, then transfer it to the oven. Broil for 3 minutes, then remove to baste again. Return to the oven and broil for another 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley flakes, and serve with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
