Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Season salmon with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, but not smoking, add salmon skin-side up. Cook salmon until a crust develops, about 4 minutes, then flip and add remaining oil.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the honey mixture and sliced lemons; cook for another 4 minutes until the sauce is reduced by about 1/3. Baste salmon with the sauce.
- Once the salmon is opaque all the way through, it is properly cooked. The fisherman's rule is to keep the ocean flavor in the fish. Garnish with lemon to serve.
