Description
A delightful dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with tender salmon and refreshing peach salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
- 2 fresh peaches, pitted and diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, chopped red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Make the Honey Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and honey, stirring until well combined. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the honey garlic butter mixture over them. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salmon and top with the peach salsa. Drizzle any remaining honey garlic butter over the top.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Keep the peach salsa separate to maintain its texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute salmon with grilled tofu and use coconut oil instead of butter.
