Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

Add 1/4 cup of lightly packed light brown sugar to the melted butter and mix together.

Add 1/4 cup of teriyaki marinade and mix well.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.

Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of honey, mixing until combined.

Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cover them with the glaze.

Sprinkle honey garlic seasoning over the salmon, noting that no additional salt is needed due to the seasoning and soy sauce.

Place the skillet under the broiler for about 7 to 10 minutes, adjusting time based on the thickness of the salmon.

Halfway through cooking, remove the salmon and coat it again with the glaze to thicken it up on top.

Cook the salmon for a total of 8 minutes until done.
