Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

In a small bowl whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet so it is hot but not smoking. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place in pan and cook 4 minutes, skin side down. Turn fillets over and cook 2 minutes. Add sauce and continue cooking another 2 minutes or until fish is just cooked through and sauce has thickened and glazed salmon. You may have to adjust the cooking time according to thickness of your fish.
Transfer fish to a plate and top with sliced scallions.
