Execution Steps
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry. Rub with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Sear to Golden
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. If your salmon has skin, place it skin-side down first.
Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the fish is nearly cooked through. Remove the fillets briefly from the pan.
Build the Glaze
Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, Peppajoy hot sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until the mixture becomes glossy and slightly thickened.
Glaze & Finish
Return the salmon to the skillet. Use a spoon to continuously baste the fillets with the glaze until they are sticky, caramelized, and perfectly coated.
