1-First Steps: Season and Heat Start with 4 salmon filets (6 oz each) and season them with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika, and optionally 1/4 teaspoon blackening seasoning. Heat 3 tablespoons butter and 2 teaspoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 6 cloves minced garlic, 3 tablespoons water, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, 1/2 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, cooking the sauce for about 30 seconds to blend the flavors.

2-Cooking and Finishing Touches Place the salmon filets skin side down in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, basting frequently to lock in moisture. Then, broil for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once more, until the salmon is sticky, slightly charred, and cooked through. Remember to check for an internal temperature of 145°F for the best results.

3-Garnish with minced parsley if you like, and let it rest a bit.
