Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove the fresh salmon from the fridge 15-20 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature. Cut the fillet into four equal pieces, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, lemon juice, grated ginger, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Whisk to mix until smooth, and set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat until the butter is melted and bubbling, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gently place the seasoned salmon pieces skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook without moving for about 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Reduce heat to medium, carefully flip each salmon piece using a fish turner, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until almost cooked through.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, let it melt, then pour the sauce between the salmon pieces. Let it bubble and thicken for about 20-30 seconds.
- Once the sauce has thickened and salmon is cooked to your liking, remove from heat and spoon sauce over each piece. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
