Chef Thai
4-6 fresh salmon filets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon pink salt
1/2 black pepper
Chef Thai all-purpose Cajun seasoning (or your choice).
Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
6 garlic cloves (minced)
1 1/2 cups honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chili sauce (with flakes)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup cilantro
3 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons hot sauce
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Place the garlic, soy sauce, honey, lime juice and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Rub the hot sauce and seasoning mixture to the tops and bottoms of the salmon filets
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and butter. Heat until shimmering.
Add the salmon seasoned side down and flip to the other side. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon
is seared. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the filets and add the honey lemon sauce to the pan. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes, basting it with the sauce. Turn the filets and cook for another few minutes until cooked through. The salmon will flake easily with a fork when done.
Remove the salmon from the skillet to a serving plate. You can cook the sauce for a few more minutes
to reduce, thicken and caramelize if desired. Take care not to burn. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve immediately.
Garnish with green onions and serve with lime wedges.
