Ingredients
For The Glaze
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 3 scallions
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1½ tablespoon soy sauce or mirin
FOR THE FISH
- 1-1½ pounds salmon Atlantic
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
OPTIONAL GARNISH:
- green onions sliced
- cilantro chopped
- lime juice
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 3 scallions, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1½ tablespoon soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens. Set aside.
- Slice 1-1½ pounds Atlantic salmon into approximately 4-ouonce servings. Season the fillets with a pinch salt and pinch pepper.
- Place the pan on the stove and turn on the heat to medium-medium high. When the pan is hot, but not smoking, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and rotate the pan to cover with the oil.
- Add the salmon fillets, flesh side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the salmon. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer, or until the fish reaches your desired temperature, and brush each piece with the glaze.
- Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice . Serve.
Notes
- To ensure the fish doesn't stick to the pan, heat the skillet over medium-high heat for a full minute before adding the oil. This creates a virtually nonstick surface for any stainless steel pan.
- The fish will continue cooking even after removing it from the heat, a phenomenon known as carryover cooking.
- You can swap lemon for the lime juice to garnish.
