Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add salmon skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes until just opaque in the center.
  3. Step 3: Remove salmon from skillet and set aside. Add 1/2 cup Lindemans Kriek, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer uncovered for 8 minutes until reduced to 3 tbsp and glossy, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: Return salmon to the skillet, spooning glaze over top. Add 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves and cook for 1 minute more until salmon is heated through and glaze clings to the surface.
