Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets medium-size
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
For the Sauce:
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ginger powder
For Garnishing:
- Fresh chives chopped
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps achieve a crispier sear.
- Season the fillets on both sides with garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Sear the Salmon:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, and ginger powder.
Combine and Finish:
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the salmon still in it.
- Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Be careful not to let it reduce too much.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the salmon and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle the sesame oil over the salmon. Swirl the pan to coat the fillets in the sauce.
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the salmon to a serving plate.
- Garnish with chopped chives and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
