Honey Glazed Salmon

Packed with protein and high in omega-3, salmon is a healthy and more sustainable alternative to many other meats. Add low carb and low fat mashed cauliflower along with your favorite vegetable for a balanced and filling meal.

Recipe:

(Serves 2)

• 2 6oz salmon filets
• 1/8 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Rinse and dry the salmon filets.
2. Mix the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
4. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat.
5. Before the oil begins to smoke, place salmon filets skin down (if they have skin) and cook for about 6 minutes. A spatula should be able to easily slide under the filets after 6 minutes.
6. Flip the salmon over and add the minced garlic to the edge of the pan. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute or until it becomes golden brown.
7. Reduce heat to medium low and pour in your honey and soy mixture.
8. Cook for about 6 more minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by 1/3 to 1/2.
9. If the salmon has skin, flip back over for 2 minutes and baste the salmon with the sauce. If it is skinless, baste for the remaining 2 minutes.
10. Remove salmon from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions or chives.
