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

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer salmon to serving plates and spoon remaining sauce over the top. Serve.
