Cooking Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the Pure Maple Syrup (2 Tbsp) , Fresh Ginger (2 tsp) , Garlic (2 cloves) , Soy Sauce (2 Tbsp) , Rice Vinegar (2 tsp) , and about 3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed) . Set aside.

Heat a large (12-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until it’s extremely hot.

Meanwhile, pat the Skin-On Salmon Fillets (4) dry with paper towels, brush both sides with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (to taste) , and season all over with Kosher Salt (to taste) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste) .

When the pan is ready, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan and cook over medium-heat heat without moving for 4 minutes.

Using a pair of tongs, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 4-5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Insert a small knife into the thickest part of the salmon to check for doneness. The salmon should be slightly opaque in the center.

Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish. Pour the glaze over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets. Sprinkle with the Scallions (to taste) if using and serve hot.
