Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon sesame or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Four 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Black and white sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, garlic, ginger powder, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little of the sauce, then flip and cook until the salmon is about medium, another minute or two. Depending on the thickness of salmon, you may need more or less time.
- Allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with more sauce before serving and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Reviews
I made this with no changes and my family raved about it. Definitely a keeper!!
Absolutely! Kardea never fails to create ve4ry well-flaoed meals. This is one of them and a keeper for sure. R.E.D.
I love this salmon! I used sesame oil in a non stick pan, salt and peppered the salmon, then put the sauce on. Searing the salmon with this magic sauce is where it’s at! Delicious!
Yummy
Two thumbs up from my husband! I made with skinless salmon, cooked 2 minutes per side. Thanks for sharing this recipe
Just tried this tonight and am so glad that I did. The sauce is finger-licking good — it’s delicious. My husband doesn’t care for salmon, but eats it because it’s so good for his brain, but he loved this recipe, Kardea. Thank you, was very tasty!
Can you make this with skinless salmon?
Better than most restaurants
Wonderful sauce even with my adjustments. Used coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Omitted the fish sauce ( it has over 1,000 mg of sodium per serving so not heart or BP healthy) used 1/2 tsp of miso paste. Also omitted the canola oil (I don’t use that oil but the sesame oil is sufficient) I used fresh grated ginger instead of powdered. I whisked these together with the rice vinegar and poured it over the salmon; then sprinkled with everything but the bagel seasoning and baked it for 10 min at 400. My husband said it was perfect!
Flavor of sauce was great but the sauce never thickens and burnt in cast iron skillet
