Skillet Salmon with Honey-Mustard Glaze
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

  2. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

  3. Lightly brush each fillet with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and soy sauce (if using). Set aside.

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

  6. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if they have skin.

  7. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving the fillets, allowing the skin to crisp up.

  8. Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

  9. Reduce the heat to low and brush the honey-mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the glaze slightly caramelize and coat the salmon.

  10. Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.

  11. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.

  12. Serve warm with your beet and goat cheese salad or your favorite sides.
