Hazelnut Free Honey-Garlic Glazed Salmon
Salmon done right is one of those weeknight wins that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. This version gets a gorgeous sear in a hot skillet before being bathed in a sticky, fragrant glaze built from raw honey, coconut aminos, fresh garlic, ginger, and a bright hit of lemon juice — no soy sauce, no nut-based sauces, nothing that would raise a red flag for anyone avoiding tree nuts. The turmeric-seasoned fillets develop a deep golden crust before the glaze goes in, and then a few minutes of basting turns everything lacquered and caramelized in the best possible way. Coconut aminos do a lot of heavy lifting here, delivering that savory umami depth without any of the usual ingredient concerns you'd find in bottled teriyaki or Asian-style sauces from the store. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds just enough warmth to balance the sweetness, and fresh parsley and lemon wedges at the end keep it feeling light and vibrant. The whole thing comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner.
