Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets 1.2 lb or 520 grams
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup white wine
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp neutral-tasting oil like sunflower oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil
  • 1/2 medium-heat chili pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt or more, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Place a pan on medium heat and add the oil.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place in the pan (skin-side down).
  • Pan-fry the salmon skin side down first for about 4 minutes. Then flip, lower the heat, and cook for about 1-2 minutes. The timings are based on fillets that are about 4.6-4.8 oz (130-135 grams) each and on my personal preference, so feel free to adjust the cooking times based on your preference and the thickness/weight of the salmon fillets you have. It should not be completely cooked as we’ll finish cooking it in the sauce
  • Remove the salmon and set it aside on a plate.
  • To the pan, add the white wine, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and finely chopped chili pepper.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat, reducing the sauce (for about 10 minutes).
  • Add the butter, and once it’s melted, add the parsley.
  • Add the salmon (skin side down) and spoon the sauce over it, finishing cooking the salmon for about 1 minute skin-side down, then flip and cook for 30 seconds more or until cooked to your preference.
  • You can bring the salmon to the dinner table in the pan, ready for everyone to plate up, or serve it on individual plates with more fresh parsley on top.
