5-Ingredient Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon (Done in 20 Minutes, I Promise)
My boyfriend used to say he didn't like salmon. Now this is the most requested dinner in our apartment. The trick is getting that skin insanely crispy first — then the honey garlic glaze does all the work. Five ingredients, one pan, zero excuses not to eat well on a Tuesday night.
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets skin-on2 fillets (150g each)
- Honey3 tbsp

Nutrition
Directions
- 1
Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels — this is non-negotiable for crispy skin.
- 2
Season flesh side lightly with salt and pepper.
- 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add butter. Place salmon skin-side down, press gently for 30 seconds.
- 4
Cook skin-side down for 6-7 minutes without moving. The skin should be golden and crispy.
- 5
Flip salmon. While it finishes cooking (2 min), push it to one side. Add garlic to the empty side, saute 30 seconds.
- 6
Mix honey and soy sauce, pour over garlic and salmon. Let it bubble and caramelize for 1-2 minutes, spooning glaze over the fish.
- 7
Remove from heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice or veggies.
