PAN SEARED HONEY GARLIC SALMON

Pan Seared Honey Garlic Salmon is a nutritious and healthy recipe recommended by Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach Matt Hartsky.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp lemon (lime) juice
• 2 – 3 large garlic cloves, grated
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 6 x 3 oz each salmon fillets, skin on/off
• 1 – 2 tsp avocado oil
• 2 green onions, finely chopped

Instructions:

• In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon/lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Place salmon fillets in a large resealable Ziploc bag and pour marinade over.
• Squeeze as much air out as possible and seal the bag.
• Gently move fillets around inside the bag to make sure they are all evenly coated.
• Place flesh side down and let marinate 15 minutes.
• Preheat large non-stick skillet on low – medium heat and add oil, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
• Place salmon fillets flesh side down leaving enough space in between them.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes.
• Remove the lid, cook another minute and flip over.
• Repeat: cover, cook for 3 minutes, remove the lid and cook for another minute.
• If your skillet is not large enough, I recommend cooking in two batches. If you over crowd the skillet, cooking time increases by a few minutes for each step.
• Serve hot garnished with green onions, alongside quinoa and steamed broccoli – my favorite.
• Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container.
