Ingredients

• 4 salmon filets
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Zest of 1 lime
• FOR THE BROWNED BUTTER LIME SAUCE
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Juice of 1 lime
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the foam subsides and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, honey and lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.

3. Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon flour and drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey.

4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add salmon to the skillet and sear both sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

5. Place into oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

6. Serve immediately with browned butter lime sauce and lime zest, if desired.
