How to Make Amanda S Birthday Salmon
- **Make the Teriyaki Glaze:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce.
- **Add Aromatics:** Stir in 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
- **Simmer the Glaze:** Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- **Sear the Salmon:** In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.
- **Cook the Salmon:** Add salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- **Glaze the Salmon:** Pour the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, turning to coat evenly.
- **Finish Cooking:** Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
- **Serve:** Serve the salmon immediately, drizzled with extra glaze if desired. Garnish with extra green onions, if you like.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
