Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the skillet
  2. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  3. 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  4. 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  5. 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  6. 1 tablespoon Chinese mustard
  7. 1 tablespoon sriracha
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 4 skin-on salmon fillets
  10. 1 bunch scallions, chopped, for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.

I loved this recipe! I did substitute the Chinese mustard with Dijon mustard. It might have been a good decision as I hear Chinese mustard is hot. My daughter and Grand daughter wouldn’t have liked it as much as they did!
Matthew Peterson
Excellent. I was surprised that it wasn’t spicier given the ingredients, but definitely impressed
Terry Sanchez

The best salmon recipe I’ve tried. Since I didn’t have any maple syrup I substituted it with honey. I thought it might be too sweet with the honey but it gave a nice balance to the hot Chinese mustard and the siracha. I also marinaded it over night. This was delcious.

Easy and delicious!

Delighted with this. If you are sensitive to salt consider a sodium free soy sauce. I loved it!
Richard Hernandez
This was OK, but I don’t believe I would make it again.  I prefer savory over sweet, but tried this-because of the great reviews.   I have some left over, so I will see if it is better tomorrow.

Made this last night; delicious and easy. The best crispy skin recipe I’ve ever made.
