Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp finely crushed dried culinary lavender, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil until combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Brush each salmon fillet generously with half of the honey-lavender glaze, reserving the rest for basting.
  4. Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
  6. Step 6: Flip the salmon and baste with the remaining honey-lavender glaze, grilling for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving with a drizzle of extra glaze.
