Ingredients
Firecracker Sauce
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons EACH: grated ginger and minced garlic
The Salmon
- 4 ervings salmon skin removed
- 1 teaspoon EACH: black pepper and mild or spicy paprika
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- Minced chives and sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl big enough to fit the salmon, mix the buffalo sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
- Dry the salmon with paper towels and then sprinkle both sides evenly with pepper and paprika.
- Put the salmon into the bowl with the sauce and mix it around so that it is covered. Put the bowl into the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes - see notes.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (save the marinade!) and add the salmon to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes then carefully flip the salmon over and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and bring it to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat then serve the salmon with minced chives and sesame seeds over top.
Notes
- If you're short on time you can skip marinating the salmon. Simply sear it and then add the sauce to the pan.
