Directions

1. Score salmon

   Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the salmon in 2 or 3 places to just barely cut into the flesh.

2. Rub with olive oil

   Rub each fillet with a little olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper, getting some of the seasoning into the score marks.

3. Heat grill

   Heat outdoor grill, or use an indoor grill pan set to medium-high.

4. Cook salmon

   Once grill is hot, place salmon on grill flesh side down and cook for 6-8 minutes.

5. Flip and cook salmon

   Using a spatula, carefully flip and cook on skin side until salmon is cooked through (about 6 minutes more) or until the center reaches 145 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

6. Let rest

   Move to a serving platter and let rest at least 5 minutes.

7. Cook sauce

   While salmon is resting, place a sauce pan over medium heat. Add butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Stir until butter is melted and all ingredients are combined. Turn off heat and add cilantro.

8. Pour and serve

   Pour warm sauce over salmon and serve.

9. Serve

   Serve with a side of black beans, brown rice, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or your favorite side.
