Preparation
Step 1
To make the glaze: In a measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbsp soy sauce. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Step 2
Season both sides of your boneless, skinless salmon filets with salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup flour into a shallow plate and dredge both sides of salmon in flour, shaking off excess flour.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp light olive oil.
Step 4
Brush the first side of salmon generously with half of the glaze and once oil is hot, add salmon to the pan (glaze-side-down). In the pan, brush the second side generously with remaining glaze. Saute salmon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn, and sauté the second side another 3 minutes. Glaze should be caramelized and salmon should be just cooked through and opaque inside when flaked.
Step 5
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top to serve and garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Chef's notes
For Gluten Free – substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos or use Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce.
Do not cook over high heat or you will burn the glaze.
Pro Tip:
Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping and cleanup. Also, if salmon is browning too quickly, reduce heat so you don’t burn the glaze.
Pro Tip:
You can use skin-on salmon, but you’ll lose some of the glaze and flavor when you remove the skin after cooking.
