Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound fresh salmon

Salt & pepper (to taste)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter (divided)

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons chicken broth or water

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-20 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and pat it dry with paper towel. Season with salt & pepper.

Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.

Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the pan for a few minutes.

Cook the salmon (skin-side down) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and flip the salmon over and cook for another 2-3 minutes (should be almost cooked through).

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, then pour in the sauce (just pour it in between the salmon pieces). Let it bubble/thicken for 20-30 seconds or so, and then take the pan off the heat (the pan will still be hot and the sauce will continue to thicken, but this avoids burning it). Flip the salmon over & spoon the sauce over top.

Serve immediately. The salmon skin will be nice and crispy and is delicious when you eat it right away, but feel free to peel it off it you prefer.
