Preparation

Step 1

Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl and stir until brown sugar is completely dissolved.
Rinse and pat dry salmon fillets. Place salmon fillets in glaze and marinate for a few minutes, and then flip over and marinate for a couple more minutes.
Heat oil in a large saute-pan over high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper (remember glaze will have a bit of saltiness from soy sauce as well). Sear salmon in hot pan, turning once, until browned but barely cooked through, about 3 minutes each side.
While salmon cooks, place glaze in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Vigorously simmer for 5 minutes.
Plate salmon and brush or pour glaze over salmon.
