Ingredients
  

  • (Serves 2)
  • 10 oz (280 g) salmon filet, skin-on
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5 g / 0.18 oz) fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tsp (10 g / 0.35 oz) fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar-free ketchup
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) dry white wine
  • For a beautiful presentation and an extra pop of flavor, garnish the finished dish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
  • Use a fish spatula to flip the salmon. Its thin, flexible head is designed to slide under delicate filets without breaking them apart.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and fish sauce.
  3. Place the salmon in the marinade for 10-15 minutes, turning once.
  4. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the salmon skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Flip the filet and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  6. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium.
  8. Pour the remaining marinade, sugar-free ketchup, and white wine into the skillet.
  9. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze.
  10. Drizzle the warm glaze over the salmon filets and serve immediately.
  11. Pat the salmon skin completely dry with a paper towel before searing. This is the most important step for achieving incredibly crispy skin.
  12. Don't over-marinate the fish. The acid in the vinegar can start to 'cook' the salmon (like ceviche) if left for too long, altering its texture.
