Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (4–5 oz each)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- Pinch of chili powder
- Pinch of dried oregano
- Pinch of smoked paprika
- 1 tsp olive oil (instead of 2 tbsp, to save points)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey (cut in half to reduce points)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Season the salmon: Pat fillets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika.
2️⃣ Cook the salmon: Heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down if using skin-on, and cook 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook another 4–5 minutes until cooked through. Remove from pan.
3️⃣ Make the sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds. Add soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
4️⃣ Combine & serve: Return salmon to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the fillets to coat evenly. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
WW Tips:
- Reducing honey from 2 tbsp → 1 tbsp saves points but keeps sweetness.
- Using only 1 tsp olive oil instead of 2 tbsp keeps the salmon moist and flavorful while cutting fat points.
- Pair with steamed green beans, broccoli, or a side salad for a complete WW-friendly meal.
