Clean the 2 pieces of salmon by removing the skin.
Apply salt, ground paprika and pepper to each piece on both sides and spread it well.
In a bowl, place the soy sauce, lemon juice, honey and stir with a fork until the mixture is properly integrated.
Heat a frying pan over medium high heat and apply a little oil, not much since the salmon will release its own fat.
Place the salmon in the pan and leave it for 3 to 5 minutes.
Once the minutes have passed, we turn the pieces of salmon over and leave it only for 1 to 2 minutes, not long, otherwise the salmon will be very dry and that is not very pleasant.
Once the minutes have passed, we take out the salmon and place them on a separate plate, in the pan without removing the oil we used with the salmon, add a very small teaspoon of butter and wait for it to melt by adding the finely chopped garlic clove.
After 2 minutes, we added the sauce we made previously and on top of it we placed the pieces of salmon that we had separated.
We bathe the pieces of salmon with the sauce and after 3 minutes it's time to take them out and serve an exquisite piece of salmon.
