Experience a Flavor Explosion with Lavender Infused Honey Glazed Salmon

Today’s Unique Creation: Lavender Infused Honey Glazed Salmon

As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving light and fresh dishes that are both flavorful and unique. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Lavender Infused Honey Glazed Salmon. This dish is perfect for a summer dinner party or a cozy night in with family.

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4)
• dried lavender buds (1 tbsp)
• honey (3 tbsp)
• lemon (1)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• small saucepan
• microplane
• oven

I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, I sprinkle the dried lavender buds over the salmon fillets, pressing them gently to ensure they stick. In a small saucepan, I heat the honey over low heat until it becomes thin and runny.

Once the honey is ready, I drizzle it over the lavender-coated salmon fillets, making sure to cover them evenly. I then zest the lemon over the salmon using a microplane and drizzle olive oil on top. Finally, I season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.

I place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The honey glaze should be caramelized and fragrant, creating a beautiful crust on the salmon.

Once the salmon is cooked, I remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of floral lavender, sweet honey, and zesty lemon creates a truly unique flavor profile that is sure to impress your dinner guests.

The total weight of the cooked Lavender Infused Honey Glazed Salmon is approximately 800 grams, making 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per portion.

One clever tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to marinate the salmon in the honey and lavender mixture for an hour before baking. This allows the flavors to infuse the fish, resulting in a more intense taste experience.

I hope you give this Lavender Infused Honey Glazed Salmon recipe a try and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to make it your own!
