3 tablespoons honey

3/4 teaspoon lemon peel, grated

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Place honey, lemon peel, ground pepper, garlic powder and hot water in a small bowl and whisk until blended. With gloved hands, rub mixture over salmon fillets.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spice-rubbed salmon fillets and cook 4 minutes. Carefully turn fillets with a spatula.
