Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce reduced sodium
- 1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch piece ginger finely minced or grated, fresh
- 3 tsp sesame oil toasted
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb. salmon filet cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Garnishes
- sesame seeds black and white
- green onions sliced thinly
Instructions
Make sauce
- In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk to combine well.
Sear salmon
- Heat a large heavy bottomed skillet with a lid (you'll need the lid later - or if you don't have a skillet with a lid, you can use foil later), over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add vegetable oil.
- Add salmon pieces in a single layer, and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes. Gently flip salmon pieces over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Add sauce
- Pour the sauce into the skillet, swirling it around to make sure the sauce is around each piece of salmon. Cover the skillet (or cover with foil if your skillet doesn’t have a lid), and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring and flipping the salmon occasionally, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste
- Give the salmon and sauce a taste and see if it needs any salt, if so, add a pinch of kosher or sea salt.
Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, and with rice if desired.
Notes
- Garlic Ginger Rice
- I've estimated this recipe serves 4, but please feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1 Tbsp of ginger paste (like gourmet garden brand).
- This recipe tastes best when using real maple syrup.
- We love to serve this salmon over my Garlic Ginger Rice, or plain white rice.
