Recipe Review:
One of the very first meals I made in my brand new 1872 cast iron skillet (which is the best thing my mom every gave me by the way). This dish is the perfect go to salmon dish for any cook. A twist on the delicate salmon you usually make with a sweet honey and crispy crust.
Most important item needed: Cast Iron Skillet (be sure to pre-season the skillet)
Ingredients:
– 4 tablespoons reduced fat butter
– 4 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (or juice of half a lemon)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 salmon fillets
– sea salt
– lemon wedges (to serve)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to grill/broil settings on medium-high heat.
-
Place butter in an oven-proof pan/skillet (or a normal frying pan if you don’t have one). Cook over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally and stirring continuously for about 3 minutes, or until the foam settles; the butter begins to change in colour to golden brown and has a nutty fragrance. Add the honey, lemon juice and garlic; stir well to combine all of the flavours together and cook for an extra 30 seconds – 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat. Pour out half of the browned butter from the pan (liquid only) and reserve for later.
-
Add the salmon steaks to the butter in the pan; sear each fillet (skin-side down if there’s any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
-
Flip each fillet; transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 6 minutes.
-
To serve, season with salt to taste; drizzle with the reserved brown butter sauce. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.
