Seared Salmon

As it sears over high heat, the salmon cooks skin-side down. The skin will become dark and crisp because the sugar crystallizes, imparting a great flavor.

Combine marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. Cool.

Place the salmon in the marinade and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet for 30 seconds over medium heat. Remove salmon from marinade and place in hot skillet, skin-side down. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for 2-3 minutes, lifting salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.

Reduce heat to medium; cover; cook 3-4 minutes, until fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
