Cooking
- Heat the olive oil and about 1 tsp of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

- Simmer for 1 minute, allowing the honey butter mixture to bubble and turn golden.
- Add the lemon juice and shake the pan to mix it well. Taste the sauce and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon if needed.
- Turn the salmon over to coat it in the sauce, then remove it from the heat.
- Place the salmon on plates and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with parsley and fresh lemon, if desired.
Notes
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for a better sear. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey for sweetness based on your taste. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
