Description
Fancy enough for weekend company, quick and easy enough for Tuesday.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 1 1/2 pounds sockeye salmon
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoke sea salt, brand Falksalt
- 1 tsp oil
- Maple infused balsamic vinegar, optional
Instructions
- Heat a large, oven proof skillet over medium heat, and coat well with oil
- Combine the brown sugar and smoke salt, and rub half of it on the fish
- Cook fish side down for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook skin side down for 2-3 minutes
- While it’s cooking, preheat the boiler
- Gently pat the remaining sugar/salt mixture onto each piece of fish
- Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if using (maple syrup would probably work too, but might be too sweet)
- Put the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully, until bubbling and caramelized, and the fish is slightly under cooked (it will continue to cook for a couple minutes after removal from the oven)
Notes
This is ready so quickly that you will want to prepare side dishes in advance, or employ the assistance of your family.
