How to make Honey lime salmon:

First, heat up a cast iron skillet. We love cast iron but you can use what you prefer. I personally love using this cast iron griddle that I can place right on top of my stove. Plus I can use this on my grill outside.
Second, sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.
Next, put the salmon in the skillet and drizzle with honey. Let it cook for 3 minutes on medium high heat. Don’t flip it too early. Wait until the salmon gets the beautiful brown crust.
Now flip and cook the salmon for another 2 to 3 minutes until done.
Finally, melt the butter in a saucepan. Keep whisking until the butter turns a gold brown. This takes about 3 minutes. Keep a close watch on this so it does not burn.
Add the garlic, honey and lime. This is going to be amazing!
Drizzle all of this delicious honey butter all over the salmon. Serve and enjoy. Yum!
