Scale
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Garnish (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
- Season Salmon: Season the salmon pieces evenly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
- Prepare Glaze: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice, cooking for another minute while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly and is well combined.
- Cook Salmon: Place the salmon pieces in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it tender and moist.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the glaze.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet glaze.
- Can be served with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
- Skin removal from salmon ensures a better texture for the bite-sized pieces.
