Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on preferred
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, half for juice, half sliced for garnish
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all seasoning ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle seasoning blend on all sides.
- Let seasoned salmon rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- While salmon rests, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter, and once melted, add salmon, skin-side down.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over fillets during the last minute of cooking.
- Transfer salmon to a serving plate and brush the warm glaze over each fillet. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
Notes
- For wild-caught salmon, reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
- For a spicier version, double the cayenne pepper.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried (use 1½ times the amount).
