Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
  1. Season the salmon fillets with a generous pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper on both sides. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down into the hot skillet. Sear undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. Pour into skillet with garlic and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
