Honey Chili Glazed Blackened Salmon
January 23, 2023
- 4-6 fresh salmon filets (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
- 1/2 black pepper
- Chef Thai all-purpose Cajun seasoning (or your choice).
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 6 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 1/2 cups honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce (with flakes)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup green onions
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 3 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoons hot sauce
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Place the garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Rub the hot sauce and seasoning mixture to the tops and bottoms of the salmon filets
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and butter. Heat until shimmering.
- Add the salmon seasoned side down and flip to the other side. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon
is seared. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the filets and add the honey lemon sauce to the pan. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes, basting it with the sauce. Turn the filets and cook for another few minutes until cooked through. The salmon will flake easily with a fork when done. - Remove the salmon from the skillet to a serving plate. You can cook the sauce for a few more minutes
to reduce, thicken and caramelize if desired. Take care not to burn. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve immediately. - Garnish with green onions and serve with lime wedges.
