Ingredients
- 16 oz salmon cut into 1-inch cubes, Atlantic
- 1 tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sumac
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp marjoram or oregano, dried
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp neutral oil add more if necessary
Instructions
- Cut the 16 oz Atlantic salmon into 1-inch cubes. Add them into a Tupperware container and sprinkle with all 1 tsp kosher salt.
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp sumac, ½ tsp black pepper , and ½ tsp dried marjoram. Mix until incorporated. Sprinkle all of it onto the salmon and mix until the pieces are fully coated. Cover with a lid and marinate for at least 30 minutes on the counter (so the salmon can stay room temperature for even cooking), but not more than 1 hour.
- After marinating, pour all 4 tsp lemon juice over the salmon and mix.
- If using a cast-iron pan: Preheat over medium heat and add the 2 tbsp neutral oil. Let oil warm for 30 seconds. Carefully, lower the salmon pieces in an even layer and leave an inch of space in between spaces. Sear for about 1 ½ minutes on each side or until it easily releases from the pan and has a browned side.
- Turn carefully, and cook for another 1 ½ minutes. Remove them from the pan once it reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Repeat with any raw pieces.
- If using a stainless steel pan: Preheat over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp neutral oil to warm for 30 seconds. Place the salmon pieces in an even layer without crowding the pieces. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes or until it easily releases from the pan and is brown. Turn and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan once it reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Repeat with the rest of the salmon.
- Serve immediately.
