Preparation
Step 1
Combine all ingredients except the oil in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible and marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours).
Step 2
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add salmon skin side down, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy. Check the skin to ensure it isn't cooking too quickly - if it is, then turn down the heat and/or remove the pan from the stove briefly to allow the temperature to decrease.
Step 4
Drizzle over remaining marinade in the ziplock bag over the flesh side. Flip and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or to your liking. I like salmon medium rare so the inside is very moist and just cooked.
Step 5
Rest for a couple of minutes, remembering that the salmon will continue to cook while resting, then serve.
Step 6
