Oh yes! I'm thinking this is excellent! Must try.
Ingredients
FOR THE SALMON
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets, each fillet should be around 4-ounces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoky or sweet paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
FOR THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (For a gluten-free option, use Tamari sauce)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- sliced green onions for serving
- lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large (10 to 12 inches) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl combine cumin, paprika, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix until incorporated.
- Season salmon fillets with prepared seasoning and transfer to skillet, skin side down. (PLEASE SEE MY NOTES)
- Cook the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked three quarters of the way through.
- In the meantime, combine honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a bowl; whisk until well combined.
- Flip the fish over and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. (If working in batches, at this point you want to place all your fillets back in the skillet.)
- Wait until butter melts and add minced garlic over the fish.
- Pour the prepared honey soy sauce over the fish and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the fillets while cooking.
- Remove from heat.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
WW FREESTYLE POINTS: 8 COOK’S NOTES
- For best and easiest results, cook 2 salmon fillets at a time. It’s much easier to flip them over when the pan isn’t crowded. When it’s time to add the sauce, just return all the salmon fillets to the pan and continue with the recipe.
- Keep cooked salmon refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Wow! This salmon is to die for. The sauce is so delicious I wanted to lick the plate. I’ll make this recipe often.
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious!!!!! Sweet, Savory and perfect for a cozy winter night. Thanks for sharing!
Sounded like a great recipe, except for the Italian seasoning. It overpowered the other flavors. I tried to eat it but ended up throwing it out. Sorry, but I didn’t like it.
Garlic Sauce Salmon is the great idea for my children. It is delicious and nutritious. They eat them all. Thank you so much for your sharing
I made this tonight. I asked how it was while I was finishing cleaning up. My teenage son, wide-eyed and shoving food in his mouth, gave a thumbs up. He gradually got out, “This is something Gordon Ramsey should serve in his restaurant!”
It’s a keeper. Thanks.
I want to eat this for dinner tonight!
