_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about a recipe that’s about to become your new dinner obsession! As someone who’s spent countless hours perfecting this dish (and maybe burning it once or twice – we’ve all been there!), I’m thrilled to share my Pan-Seared Honey Garlic Salmon with Roasted Vegetables.
Trust me, this isn’t your average salmon dinner. This is the kind of meal that makes your family think you secretly enrolled in culinary school!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 salmon fillets (because leftovers are a girl’s best friend)
– 4 tablespoons honey
– 6 cloves garlic (vampires, beware!)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 lemon
– Assorted vegetables (I use brussels sprouts, baby carrots, and asparagus)
– Olive oil, salt, and pepper
Now, let’s get cooking!
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (or 200°C for my metric friends). While that’s heating up, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and juice from half a lemon. This sauce is so good, you’ll want to drink it – but resist the temptation, honey!
Speaking of which, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance!
Season those gorgeous salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a pan until it’s smoking hot (like my ex’s temper – kidding!). Place the salmon skin-side up and let it sear for 4 minutes until golden brown. While that’s happening, toss your veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Flip the salmon, pour over that heavenly honey garlic sauce, and transfer everything to a baking sheet alongside your seasoned vegetables. Pop it in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the veggies are tender-crisp.
The result? A perfectly cooked, protein-rich dinner that’s both nutritious and absolutely Instagram-worthy! The natural omega-3s from the salmon paired with fiber-rich vegetables make this a balanced meal that your body will thank you for.
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made this for date nights or dinner parties, and it’s always a showstopper. Plus, it takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish – because who has time to spend hours in the kitchen these days?
