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 broiler. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Be careful not to place the rack too high, as this can cause the sauce to burn.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet and 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, or until the sauce is heated through.
- Place the salmon filets into 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.
- Broil the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes. Baste the salmon with sauce one more time during the broiling process. Continue cooking until the salmon is caramelized and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Garnish with minced parsley if desired.
Notes
If you find the sauce is too watery, you can reduce the amount of water used or simmer the sauce for a few minutes before adding the salmon. For an alternative cooking method, you can pan-sear the salmon instead of broiling. Season the salmon as directed, then sear it in the skillet on both sides. Remove the salmon to a plate. Add the sauce ingredients to the same skillet and cook until warmed through. Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
