Sweet, savory, and tangy, this recipe is great grilled or broiled!

Season the salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium high heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until foamy and chestnut brown in color. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Add the honey, water and soy sauce and stir to combine. Add the lemon juice and reduce to a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Arrange the salmon filets on a baking sheet lined with foil, skin side down. Brush the filets generously with the glaze. Broil for 5 minutes, brush with more glaze, then broil 3-5 minutes more until cooked through. Remove from oven and brush one final time.
