Skillet-Seared Salmon with Spicy Hoisin Glaze
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
-
2 teaspoons ginger root, peeled and grated
-
2 teaspoons minced garlic
-
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, such as Kikkoman
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, not seasoned
-
1 teaspoon chili paste, more or less to taste
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
-
2 pounds salmon fillets, skinned, and divided into 6 servings
-
Salt and pepper, as desired
Preparation
-
In a small pan combine 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, the ginger, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until lightly golden. Stir in remaining ingredients, except salmon, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use
-
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on the flesh side, not the skin side. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon into hot skillet, seasoned side down. Cook 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned. With a spatula, carefully turn salmon over and cook an additional 3 - 5 minutes or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Warm the previously prepared sauce, then drizzle it over the fish and cook until it has heated through and begins to sizzle.
-
Transfer salmon to serving plates and spoon remaining sauce over the top. Serve.
