Ingredients
  

  • 4- 5 oz. portions of salmon fillets
  • I/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter
  • 2 Tb. of grated yellow onion
  • 1 Tb. of honey
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh dill
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 Tb. of canola oil

Instructions
 

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, gently whisk together melted butter, honey, lemon juice, grated onion, dill, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Pre-heat your broiler on high with the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Salt and pepper each side of the salmon fillets. Using a cast iron or oven safe skillet, coat the pan with canola oil. Lay each fillet in the cold skillet and heat on high for 2 minuets.
  • Turn off the heat on the stove and brush the lemon glaze on the top of each salmon fillet with a pastry brush or spoon.
