    In our household, we have been enjoying this super easy Lemon Rosemary Salmon for quite a few years now. I love searing the salmon on the skillet because it saves a lot of time and helps the fish retain its natural juices and moisture. Oh, and the lemon-rosemary-honey glaze adds so much flavor to it. I am so happy to share this recipe with you guys!

    To be frank, I don’t cook salmon very often since I am trying to eat more vegetarian dishes and because good quality salmon is hard to find. I’ve been paying attention to the labels lately and I noticed that more and more salmon (and other fish) now are farm raised, and that scares me. Farm raised salmon is artificially colored and fed antibiotics and a variety of hormones and that cannot be good in any way. It’s getting harder and harder to find a good quality salmon filet. 🙁
    How about you, friends? Do you check the labels on where your fish is coming from? What are your thoughts on this topic?

    Anyways, back to our delicious lemon rosemary salmon. Here is what you'll need to do:

    • Cut the fish into serving size slices
    • Sprinkle it with salt and pepper
    • Rub it with small amount of olive oil
    • Fry it on both sides, remove from the pan and set aside

    To prepare the sauce:

    • In the same pan that you fried the salmon, add wine, lemon juice, honey and rosemary
    • Cook this mixture for a few minutes
    • Add some cornstarch dissolved in water to thicken the sauce
    • Cook the sauce for another minute
    • Return the fish to the pan and cover it with the lemon-rosemary sauce

    Quick, easy and delicious. Am I right?

      Do you think this would work well on chicken? I've made it with the salmon and it's delicious!

        Hi Chelsea! I've never made it with chicken, but I think it should work well. Let me know if you try it. 🙂

      is it necessary to add wine to it? would it still taste good without it?

        I think it should still taste good without wine, Kim. However, I've never made it without it.

        There are substitutes you can use. For example: "White grape juice - Use white grape juice as a substitute when you want to add sweetness, or deglaze the pan. For a punchier substitute, try mixing a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice per cup of grape juice. Chicken or vegetable stock - Substitute stock for white wine when you want to add depth of flavor to a dish."

        Kim....if you are avoiding wine/liquors etc., for faith purposes, the liquor portion of the insignificant amount you add to this recipe evaporates when you’re simmering the sauce. My faith allows no liquor, but I asked my Bishop, & he contacted Salt Lake. He was told just what I mentioned to you. Check with your faith. One caveat though. Don’t purchase the cheapest white wine you can find. Ask a wine drinker what brand of a white “dry” wine, (I use a Savingnoin blanc, personally.). Hope this helps!!! Blessings!!!
