Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil, or cooking oil of choice
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt u0026 pepper
  • 3-4 thin lemon slices

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos or 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 clove garlics, crushed
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • Pinch salt, if using coconut aminos

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add in the olive oil
  2. Pat the salmon dry and season with the paprika and a pinch of salt u0026 pepper
  3. Place the salmon skin side down and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip the salmon fillets over and sear for another 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the salmon from the pan and drain any excess oil using a paper towel.
  4. While that cooks, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Once you remove the salmon from the pan and wipe away the excess oil, pour the sauce into the pan and lower the heat to a medium/low.
  5. Once the sauce begins to thicken, place the salmon back into the pan with 3-4 lemon slices. Spoon the sauce over each fish fillet and finish cooking for another 5-6 minutes.
  6. Top it off with extra chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
