Ingredients

🐟 2 salmon fillets (8 oz each)
🧂 Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
🍯 ¾ cup honey
🌶️ 1 dried chipotle pepper, finely crushed
🌿 ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
🧈 1 tablespoon butter

For Garnish:
🧄 2 scallions (green part only), thinly sliced and curled in ice water
🌿 A few dill sprigs
🫒 Drizzle of olive oil

Optional Serving Suggestion:

Instructions

1- Prepare Garnish:

Slice the scallion greens into thin, long strips. Place them in ice water for 10 minutes until they curl.
Drain, pat dry, and toss with dill sprigs and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.

2- Cook the Salmon:

Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and sear for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

3- Make the Glaze:

In the same pan, add honey, crushed chipotle, chopped dill, and butter.
Spoon the sauce over the salmon (baste) until the fish is cooked through and coated in a shiny glaze.

4- Plate and Serve:

Serve the salmon over garlic-butter basmati rice.
Spoon extra sauce from the pan over the top.
Finish with the scallion-dill salad for a fresh, elegant garnish.
