For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey cognac sauce for a subtle kick. Ensure the oven rack is correctly positioned to prevent burning. Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling, as cooking times may vary depending on your oven. Serve immediately over a bed of rice or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Marinate Salmon (5 minutes): In a bowl, gently coat the salmon fillets with lemon and lime juice. This citrus bath tenderizes the fish and infuses it with a bright, zesty flavor. Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet.
02
Step
2 mins
Prepare Spice Blend (2 minutes): In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, and paprika. This aromatic blend will add depth and warmth to the honey cognac sauce.
03
Step
15 mins
Create Honey Cognac Sauce (15 minutes): In a small saucepan, heat the honey over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble gently. Add the prepared garlic spice mixture and cognac. Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together beautifully and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool; the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools (approximately 10 minutes).
04
Step
2 mins
Prepare for Broiling (2 minutes): Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly coat the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season generously with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper. This ensures a crisp, flavorful crust.
05
Step
10 mins
Broil Salmon (10 minutes): Broil the salmon for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to turn opaque. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly spoon the honey cognac sauce over each salmon fillet. Return the salmon to the broiler and continue broiling for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
