Honey Butter Salmon

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). This recipe only requires 5 ingredients and you probably already have most of them in your pantry. It’s quick and easy and it tastes good. Let’s get to it.
