Hot Honey Salmon

That glaze is the money maker.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Ghee or Butter

• 1 tsp. Citrus Mojo Rub

• 1/2 cup Grape Tomatoes

• 2 Green Onions

• 1 tbsp Honey

• 1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

• 12 oz. Salmon Fillets

• 2 Zucchini

Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut on an angle into 1/2" pieces. Halve tomatoes. Trim and slice white portions of green onions into 1" lengths. Thinly slice remaining green portions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. Pat salmon fillets dry, and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Salmon: Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and salmon, skin side up, to hot pan. Sear on one side until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Transfer salmon to prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

3. Roast the Salmon: Roast salmon in hot oven until firm and salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 7-10 minutes. While salmon roasts, make hot honey butter.

4. Make the Hot Honey Butter: Add softened butter, honey, red pepper flakes (to taste), and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and stir until combined and smooth. Set aside.

5. Cook Vegetables and Finish Dish: Return pan used to sear salmon to medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and zucchini to hot pan. Stir occasionally until zucchini is browned and tender, 3-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, white portions of green onions, and a pinch of salt. Cook until tomatoes are tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 tsp. salt and seasoning rub. Remove from burner. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping salmon with hot honey butter and garnishing vegetables with green portions of green onions.
