Honey Butter Salmon

Hi Friends! I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane.

I’m still quarantining here in NYC. It’s been weird to see the city slow down, see everyone in masks, and to see my favorite restaurants “closed until further notice”. But I know that this is what life needs to look like right now in order for all of this to pass.

I’ve been keeping it simple in the kitchen. Partly because I don’t have the desire to spend a long time in there, but also because my kitchen is what I like to call “fun-sized” (perks of living in NYC).

Anyway, I called this recipe “quarantine friendly” on IG because it uses less than 5 ingredients and you probably already have them in your pantry. It’s quick and easy and it tastes good. Let’s get to it.
