In a small bowl, combine the garlic, honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice, and set aside.
Heat the non-stick frying pan with olive oil and cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour the sauce in the pan and cook until the sauce starts getting thicker, searing the salmon on all sides.

Notes

TO STORE: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you can, I recommend separating the sauce so it doesn't impart extra flavor as it sits- the salmon can turn out a little salty.

TO REHEAT: Microwave single portions for 30-40 seconds or reheat the fillets in a skillet over medium-low heat with one tablespoon of tap water, flipping often until warm.
