Ingredients 

  • 4 6 ounce salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame, or vegetable oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil

For the pan sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons soy or ponzu sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions 

  • Prepare the sauce by combining the garlic, soy sauce, water, lime juice and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
  • Arrange the salmon fillets, skin side down on a plate. Drizzle with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a heavy skillet (nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) over medium-high heat. Film the bottom with a small amount of oil and add the salmon, skin side down. Cook without moving until the skin is nicely seared and releases easily, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn the fillets with tongs and continue cooking to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes additional.
  • Transfer the salmon to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Keeping the pan over medium-high heat, add the sauce mixture and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Note: This will not be a thick, syrupy sauce.
  • To serve, plate individual servings of salmon and drizzle with pan sauce. Stir-fried sugar snap peas and steamed white rice make perfect accompaniments.

    Tried it last night and the outcome was fabulous…. I went a little wrong in my measurement estimates, made some modifications based on what ingredients I had in store, but in the end I was extremely happy that I chose this recipe.
