Salmon
- 4-6 salmon filets 4-6 oz each
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Maple Glaze
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger fresh, minced/grated
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
- sesame seeds optional, for garnish
- green onion chopped, optional, for garnish
Season the salmon fillets on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and completely cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute or until lightly browned.
Pour the maple syrup and soy sauce into the skillet. Let the sauce bubble for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened slightly. It will thicken more as it cools off the heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and return the salmon to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the salmon fillets to coat them. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion to serve.
