I recommend boneless, skinless salmon. It can be done with skin-on if that is all you have and don’t want to take the time to remove it, but you lose some of the flavor when you remove the salmon skin later after sautéing it.

3. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp light olive oil. Note: Do not cook over high heat or you will burn the glaze.

4. Brush the first side of salmon generously with half of the glaze and once oil is hot, add salmon to the pan (glaze-side-down). In the pan, brush the second side generously with remaining glaze. Saute salmon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn and sauté second side another 3 minutes. Glaze should be caramelized and salmon should be just cooked through and opaque inside when flaked.

Cooks Tip: If salmon is browning too quickly, reduce heat so you don’t burn the glaze.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top to serve and garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Mmmm salmon is such a healthy and delicious choice. This was a wild-caught coho salmon which is sometimes hard to come by if you don’t live on the coast, so buy the best salmon you can find/afford.
