    Serves:

    Directions

    FOR PICKLED CUCUMBER:

    Begin by making the pickled salad so it can sit while you prepare the salmon. In a mixing bowl combine rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt. Mix well then fold in sliced cucumber and sliced chili. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge.

    FOR SALMON:

    In a small saucepan add soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.

    3. Take a large, oven-proof, non-stick sauté pan and set over high heat (use two pans if needed). Rub filets all over lightly with vegetable oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Once pan is very hot place the filets skin-side down and press down gently with a spatula so the skin remains flat to the pan. Cook for about 6 minutes then liberally glaze the top side of the filets - you want to have some glaze swirling in the bottom of the pan too as this will caramelize with the crispy skin. Turn off heat and flip salmon so skin side is now on top. Allow to rest in pan for 3 more minutes until cooked through.

    Place salmon filets on top of a cup of brown rice, skin-side up. Drizzle a little more glaze from the pan on and around the plate. Top with a little pickled cucumber salad and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

    In making the soy sauce, honey was slobered on the inside of the pan. As the video contined the pan appeared perfectly clean. Where can I get a magic pan that cleans itself?

    The soy sauce was not good. I started over adding sugar,not honey about half sugar and half soy and add about 1/4 cup of lime jucie. Fresh ginger and garlic. The crunchy salmon was wonderful and cucumbers delicious

    i used yellow fin tuna, so there was no skin on the fish, ************ turned out awesome! the salad tastes exactly like a japanese restaurant. the toasted sesame seeds added a nice little crunch and burst of flavor- don't bypass those.
