Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat 1/4 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic in hot oil until just beginning to brown.
Step 2
Mix together sautéed garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add salmon fillets to the bag, turning to coat with marinade, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 3
Remove salmon from the marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Reserve 3 tablespoons marinade and discard remainder.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange salmon fillets in the hot skillet; pour reserved marinade over salmon. Cover and cook, occasionally spooning liquid in the pan over fillets, until salmon is browned and flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Garnish salmon with sea salt and black pepper.
