    You can literally throw together a delicious salmon dinner in a matter of minutes - typically with ingredients you already have on hand. I made this salmon one weeknight when I actually got home at decent enough time to make dinner and my husband absolutely LOVED it! Let's go over the ingredients for this salmon and see how many you already have on hand. My guess is ALL (or at least most) of them!

    • Salmon
    • Garlic
    • Honey
    • Lemon
    • Soy sauce
    • Seasonings of choice

    Oh, you have all of those in the kitchen already? Perfect! You now have a super delicious dinner coming right up! I like to sear the salmon for a couple of minutes per side to get a nice crust then finish cooking in the oven. This is the method I've found to yield the best texture and flavor!

    Once I squeeze the lemon juice onto the salmon I like to throw the lemon slices in the pan too for some extra lemon flavor. I choose to smash the garlic cloves up and throw them right in the pan instead of chopping the garlic up. This may not actually change anything but I think the flavor is the best this way.

    You can literally cook up some rice or potatoes and any type of veggie you have on hand and - dinner is served! The kitchen rock star does it again!
