Ingredients

  • 1 lb skin-on salmon fillet cut into 3–4 portions
  • 1 tbsp Karo Syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced. approx 2 teaspoons
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Chopped green onions for serving if desired
  • Toasted sesame seeds for serving if desired
  • Prepared rice for serving if desired

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the Karo Syrup and red pepper flakes.
  • In a small saucepan, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  • Bring the soy sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Karo Syrup and red pepper flakes mixture.
  • Set aside.
  • Warm a large skillet over medium-to-high heat. You want the pan HOT.
  • Drizzle the 1 - 2 teaspoons of olive oil into the pan, be careful of splatter!
  • Place the salmon skin-side up on the hot skillet.
  • Let cook for about 3 minutes.
  • When the salmon turns opaque on the sides flip the salmon so that it is skin-side down. *I have a stainless steel pan which holds it heat, at this point I was able to reduce the heat to low and the salmon continued to cook.
  • Cook until the salmon is cooked throughout. It will be pink instead of the deep red color and will easy break apart with a fork. Learn more here.
  • Brush or spoon the Asian glaze over the top of the salmon. Save a little for serving if desired.
  • Serve with fresh veggies or a salad and rice if desired. Top with green onion and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I served mine with rose wine, it was the perfect pairing for the fresh ginger and the heat of the red pepper flakes.
