Method
- Pat the salmon filets dry. Season them with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and blackening seasoning if you are using it. Set the seasoned salmon aside.
- Preheat your oven's broiler. Make sure the oven rack is in the middle position. Broiling with the rack too high can burn the sauce.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for about 30 seconds, until the sauce is heated through.
- Place the salmon filets in the skillet, skin-side down if your salmon has skin. Cook for 3 minutes. While the salmon cooks, use a spoon to frequently baste the salmon with the sauce from the pan.
- Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes. Baste the salmon with the sauce one more time during the broiling process. Continue until the salmon is caramelized and cooked to your liking.
- Garnish with minced parsley if desired.
Notes
If you find the sauce is too watery, you can try using less water or simmering the sauce for a few extra minutes before adding the salmon. For an alternative cooking method, you can pan-sear the salmon in the skillet, remove it to a plate, cook the sauce ingredients in the same pan until warm, then return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over it.
