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.

Petra C. on 2026-08-23 (5 stars): Been trying to add more fish to our diet, this salmon is now on regular rotation at our house. We love it, thank you! No notes either, we follow the exact recipe and it comes out great every time.
Yvonne on 2026-08-22 (5 stars): I cut the recipe in half since I only had a pound of salmon. Also had to improve with the sriracha sauce and the honey, and used a little less water since I read the comments. Also cooked it on the skillet. All in all, it turned out pretty good. Thanks for the recipe. It was good 😊
