Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on, fresh or thawed)
- 0.333 cup apple butter
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to crisp.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is nearly cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the apple butter mixture over the fillets.
Spoon the glaze over the salmon for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the fish. Remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the salmon hot, drizzling the remaining glaze from the skillet over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired, and pair with your favorite sides.
