Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
1. Prep & Season Your Salmon Fillets
Pat salmon fillets dry using a paper towel.
Season both sides with sea salt and pepper for enhanced flavor and optimal sear.
2. Sear the Salmon (Locks in Moisture + Nutrients)
In a large non-stick or cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to desired doneness.
Remove salmon and set aside.
3. Prepare the Honey Lime Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tbsp butter.
Stir in garlic, honey, lime juice, and lime zest.
Simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Combine & Glaze
Return salmon fillets to the pan.
Spoon the glaze over the top and let it warm for about a minute.
5. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for extra zest.
