Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce:

3 tbsp (plus 1 tsp), unsalted butter , cut into cubes
2 garlic cloves , minced
1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Prepare the sauce by melting 1 teaspoon butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and saute until lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer until reduce in half, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and honey, and whisk until the butter is melted and incorporated. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Rub salmon fillets on both sides with the olive oil and then season with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon on a hot grill pan, and cook for 4 minutes, or until golden.
