Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces thick-cut ham slices
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Zest the lemon and then juice it, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh rosemary. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, honey, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Place the ham slices in the skillet and sear on one side for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.
Flip the ham slices and pour the lemon juice mixture over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the ham continuously.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the ham slices and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the ham slices from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the ham, garnish with additional rosemary if desired, and serve immediately.
