• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and paprika until well combined. Set aside.
2. Season the salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat the pan
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
4. Cook the salmon
Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down if using skin. Cook for 4–5 minutes without moving, until the salmon is mostly cooked through and the skin is crispy.
5. Flip and glaze
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for 1–2 minutes. Pour the honey glaze over the fillets, spooning it over the salmon as it cooks.
6. Reduce the glaze
Let the glaze simmer for 1–2 minutes, turning the salmon once if needed, until the sauce thickens and coats the fish with a glossy finish.
7. Serve
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Spoon extra glaze from the pan over the salmon.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
