Instructions
  1. 1

    Season and set up

    Pat the salmon fillets dry and season all sides with the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Set aside. Move your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the broiler. Middle rack, not the top - up high the sugary sauce will scorch.

  1. 2

    Build the sauce

    In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, honey, water, soy sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice. Cook about 30 seconds, just until it's hot and combined.

  2. 3

    Cook the salmon

    Lay the salmon in the pan, skin side down if it has skin. Cook 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top every so often to keep it glazed.

  3. 4

    Broil and finish

    Move the skillet under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the salmon is caramelized on top and cooked to your liking. Spoon the pan sauce over before serving.

Notes & Tips

This is the salmon for people who think they don't like salmon. Twenty minutes, one pan, no flipping - the broiler does the work while you barely lift a finger. Two things that matter: dry the fish before it hits the pan so the seasoning sticks and the top caramelizes, and keep the rack in the middle. Broil it up top and that honey turns to tar. If your sauce comes out thin, cut the water back to a tablespoon next time - the lemon juice is already liquid. Skin-on or skinless both work here. Green onions or a little parsley on top if you're feeling it, but it doesn't need dressing up.
