This is heaven on a plate I tell you. Flaky pan-seared honey butter salmon, tangy and sweet honey balsamic glaze, fresh-grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil… Truly heaven, my friends. I really have to wonder if weeknight dinners can possibly get any easier or tastier than this 30 minute dish right here. The process is SO simple. After making this dish just once, you’ll feel like a complete pro and will be able to whip it up anytime at the drop of a hat. Just start by seasoning your salmon with salt and pepper to taste while a little butter is melting in a large skillet. Stir some honey into that melted butter and then pan-sear your salmon to golden, flaky perfection for about 6-8 minutes on each side. Be careful not to move the salmon other than one time when you need to flip it. Moving it too much will prevent it from browning well and getting that delicious caramelization around the edges that is positively swoon-worthy. If you move it before the first side is seared enough, the salmon will likely fall apart as well, so just be patient and let the honey butter do it’s thing! Top the salmon with some juicy cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and the BEST two-ingredient honey balsamic glaze. If you haven’t made a balsamic reduction before, you will be shocked at how easy (and delicious!!) it is! Honestly all it requires is just letting it boil on the stove for a while – easy peasy. This is my favorite balsamic glaze and it compliments so many sides and main dishes, but none better than this salmon! This is everything you love about fresh bruschetta but in a main dish the whole family will love and beg you to make again and again.
