Ingredients

4 Salmon Filets from The Fish Shed, boneless and skinless (approx 170g each)
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
30g flour
2 Tbsp olive oil
3.5 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 medium lime cut into wedges
1 Tbsp Chives to garnish (optional)

For the salad...

Your choice of leafy greens (lettuce, rocket, spinach, etc!)
Pomegranate Seeds
Pine Nuts (toasted)
Corriander

Lemon Juice
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method

To make the glaze: In a measuring cup, combine honey and soy sauce. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Season both sides of your boneless, skinless salmon filets with salt and pepper. Pour flour onto a shallow plate and dredge both sides of the salmon in the flour, shaking off excess.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp light olive oil (to avoid burning the glaze, do not cook on a high heat).

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. Sauté salmon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn and sauté second side another 3 minutes. Glaze should be caramelized and salmon should be just cooked through and opaque inside when flaked.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top to serve and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
