Step 1

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large (10 to 12 inches) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl combine cumin, paprika, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix until incorporated.

Step 3

Season salmon fillets with prepared seasoning and transfer to skillet, skin side down. (PLEASE SEE MY NOTES)

Step 4

Cook the fillets for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked three quarters of the way through.

Step 5

In the meantime, combine honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a bowl; whisk until well combined.

Step 6

Flip the fish over and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. (If working in batches, at this point you want to place all your fillets back in the skillet.)

Step 7

Wait until butter melts and add minced garlic over the fish.

Step 8

Pour the prepared honey soy sauce over the fish and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the fillets while cooking.

Step 9

Remove from heat.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges.
