Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to the High Broil setting and place the oven rack so a casserole dish will sit on the shelf that is third from the top.
  • Place the 1 pound of salmon fillets in a large baking dish in a single layer with a little space between pieces.
  • Drizzle 2 teaspoons avocado oil over the salmon. Use your hands or a silicone brush to coat all of the flesh evenly with the oil.
  • Evenly sprinkle sea salt to taste, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika over the salmon.
  • Broil the salmon on High for 10–13 minutes, or until the outside is crisp and the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 145°F. Begin checking at 10 minutes and use a digital thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish to confirm doneness.
  • While the salmon cooks, make the hot honey: put 2 tablespoons salted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover the bowl to reduce splattering, and microwave 20–40 seconds or until the butter is melted. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey until combined. If the honey and butter do not incorporate easily, microwave an additional 10 seconds and stir again.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven, optionally let it rest 1–2 minutes, then drizzle the hot honey mixture evenly over the salmon and serve.
