Steps
Pat salmon dry, then season with salt, pepper, paprika and blackening seasoning (if using). Set aside.
IMPORTANT: Adjust oven rack to middle position, then preheat broiler. If you broil this with the rack up high the sauce will burn.
Add butter and oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey and lemon juice and cook 30 seconds or so, until sauce is heated through.
Add salmon, skin side down (if using salmon with skin), and cook 3 minutes. While salmon cooks, baste frequently with sauce from the pan by spooning it over the top of the salmon.
Broil salmon on high (my oven is set to 550°F for high) for 5-6 minutes, basting with sauce once during the broil, until salmon is caramelized and cooked to desired doneness.
Garnish with minced parsley if desired.

Lorrie on 2026-07-28 (5 stars): My neighbor recommended this recipe. My husband said it was awesome.
Glad I reread instructions about placing on middle oven rack when broiling😁
Jada on 2026-07-25 (5 stars): Miss Amanda, this was delicious! Based on what I had, I used regular table salt, regular paprika, lime juice, and tabasco hot sauce as substitutes. The sauce was a good texture (the sauce cooked for more than 30 seconds just because I didn't have all the ingredients ready at once). Cooked it, broiled it, basted it, and ate it. It was yummy. I didn't know I could make something that good that quick.

Ali on 2026-07-17 (4 stars): Tastes good but definitely don't add so much water. It's not a glaze at all with the given recipe
Chris on 2026-07-16 (5 stars): Outstanding, I've been looking for a recipe for years and this is the best.
Deirdre on 2026-07-15 (5 stars): I looooved this recipe. It’s the only way to eat salmon! Thank you so much!!! I didn’t do the broiler so sauce was a little watery from the fish, I stuck in a 5th piece of halibut for my Pap. But with coconut rice with craisins and walnuts that soaked up the sauce for every delicious bite!
Meredith on 2026-07-15 (5 stars): My family loved this recipe! Thank you! Making it for the second time tonight. I followed the recipe instructions and did not have any issues with the sauce being watery at all.
Laurie on 2026-07-14 (5 stars): I prepared this according to the recipe directions. My husband said I both loved it! The sauce was liquidy though.
