Ginger Glazed Salmon
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the skillet
- 3 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped, for topping
Instructions:
Combine the olive oil, gluten free soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, honey, spicy mustard, sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Baste the flesh side with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes more, until the flesh side is golden brown and the thickest part of the salmon reaches 145°F with a food thermometer. Discard the marinade that held the raw salmon. Top with the scallions.
Serve with rice or cauliflower rice. Another nice addition to this dish is fresh sugar snap peas.
