In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.

Cook the melted butter until it becomes brown, stirring occasionally until the foam settles.

Once brown, add 1/4 cup of honey and stir until well combined.

Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, mixing well.

Add salmon to the pan and coat it in the glaze, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes.

Add lemon wedges to the salmon and place the skillet in the oven on broil for 5 to 6 minutes.

Once cooked, add leftover sauce on top of the salmon.

Clean 1 pound of brussels sprouts by rinsing with cold water and rubbing off dirt.

Cut off the stem of each brussels sprout, ensuring not to cut off too much to avoid losing outer layers.

Peel off any dirty or blemished outer layers.

Cut each brussels sprout in half and set aside until finished.

Place cleaned brussels sprouts in a large bowl.

(Optional) Microwave bacon for about 2 minutes if you prefer it well-cooked.

Stack 4 pieces of bacon, cut them into pieces, and set aside.

In the bowl with brussels sprouts, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 3 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, the cut bacon, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Place brussels sprouts and bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Spread out the brussels sprouts and bacon, then cook in the oven at 375 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes.

To prepare rice, add 1 cup of rice into a bowl and wash it.

After washing, add 1 1/2 cups of water and cook the rice.

Once rice is finished cooking, plate the salmon on top of the rice with brussels sprouts and bacon on the side, adding more glaze on top of the salmon.
