Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
1-2 pounds fresh salmon cut into serving size fillets
1 teaspoon soy sauce per fillet
1 teaspoon honey per fillet
salt and pepper

Instructions

Place olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium/high heat on the stove. Once the oil starts shimmering, add salmon fillets skin-side down. Add a few dashes of soy sauce (about one teaspoon) and a squeeze of honey (about one teaspoon) on top of each fillet and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium, cover pan and cook for 4 minutes. Remove lid and carefully flip over each fillet, cook for another minute uncovered. This is the point where the fillet will get seared and the honey and soy sauce will create a glaze. (Don't worry if the salmon skin is blackened and crispy when you flip it over. The glaze on the fillet will be perfect once you remove it from the pan.)
Remove from skillet and serve right away. Garnish with chives, a sprig of fresh dill and lemon wedges.
