Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the Pure Maple Syrup (2 Tbsp), Fresh Ginger (2 tsp), Garlic (2 cloves), Soy Sauce (2 Tbsp), Rice Vinegar (2 tsp), and about 3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed). Set aside.
step 2
Heat a large (12-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until it’s extremely hot.
step 3
Meanwhile, pat the Skin-On Salmon Fillets (4) dry with paper towels, brush both sides with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (to taste), and season all over with Kosher Salt (to taste) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 4
When the pan is ready, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan and cook over medium-heat heat without moving for 4 minutes.
step 5
Using a pair of tongs, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 4-5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Insert a small knife into the thickest part of the salmon to check for doneness. The salmon should be slightly opaque in the center.
step 6
Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish. Pour the glaze over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets. Sprinkle with the Scallions (to taste) if using and serve hot.
