Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon honey
• salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons grated yellow onion
• 4 slices lemon, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 cup salted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk lemon juice, melted butter, onion, honey, dill, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Season both sides of salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Coat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet with oil. Lay each fillet in the cold skillet and heat over high heat for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and brush or spoon lemon glaze on top of each fillet.

Step 4

Transfer skillet to the preheated broiler and cook, periodically moving the skillet, until fillets flake easily with a fork and are a little caramelized around the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Serve with lemon slices.

Step 5

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
