Equipment
- cast iron skillet or other oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 6 medium boneless skinless salmon fillets 3-4 ounces each
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger finely grated
- a dash of Sriracha optional
- fresh chives and sesame seeds for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Heat a large cast iron (or other oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan, top side down.
- Let the salmon brown until it's caramel-coloured on the first side (about 2 minutes) and then flip to brown on the other side.
- While the salmon is browning, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha in a small bowl and pour it over the salmon fillets.
- Add the whole pan to the preheated oven, uncovered, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) and flakes easily with a fork.
- Spoon the maple glaze over the salmon again before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives, if desired.
