Honey Glazed Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Honey Glazed Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets, (5 ounces each) I used wild salmon, see shopping tips below
  • 2 teaspoons flour, divided
  • 2 teaspoons honey, divided
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Ingredients for Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • A dash of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, add salmon. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the fish. Let refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to marinate.
  • Remove salmon from lemon juice and pat dry. Remove bottom skin if still on the salmon. Place salmon on a plate. Sprinkle both sides of each piece with 1 teaspoon flour (½ teaspoon per side) and spread flour to evenly coat. Evenly drizzle 1 teaspoon honey over each piece of salmon (½ teaspoon per side).
  • Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in the pan. Swirl pan to evenly coat bottom and heat over medium heat. Carefully place both pieces of salmon in pan and cook over medium heat, 3-5 minutes per side until salmon has cooked through and bottom has nicely browned.
  • While salmon is cooking, make sauce: Place butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until garlic starts to lightly brown. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir often and continue to sauté for 1 minute. Rewarm if needed before drizzling over cooked salmon.
  • When salmon is fully cooked, plate salmon. Drizzle each fillet with ½ of the sauce. Serve immediately.
  • This recipe can easily be cut in ½ to serve one or can be doubled, tripled and so on.
