1-Getting started with honey glazed salmon: First, pat the salmon filets dry and season all sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and blackening seasoning if you want extra spice. This step helps the flavors stick and gives the fish a nice crust.

2-Next: position your oven rack in the middle and preheat the broiler for even cooking. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add olive oil to prevent sticking.

3-Now: add the minced garlic, water, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until the sauce is heated through, creating a glossy glaze. Place the salmon skin side down in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, basting it frequently to lock in the flavors. Then, broil the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once more, until the glaze caramelizes and the fish reaches your preferred doneness. Optionally, garnish with minced parsley for a fresh finish, and remember the sauce can be made ahead for even quicker meals.
