Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free, if desired)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 (6 ounces each) salmon fillets

Instructions

In small bowl or plastic bag, combine the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and mustard. Marinate the salmon fillets in the sauce in refrigerator for several hours or until you're ready to cook. (Save the marinade to use in the final sauce).
In a non-stick skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray, cook the salmon fillets on each side until they are golden brown and crispy and just cooked through. (About 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your fillets and how well you like it done.)
Transfer salmon to a plate.
Add the remaining honey glaze marinade to your skillet and simmer, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Return salmon fillets to the pan, heat well, and serve immediately.
