Ingredients

1 pound fresh salmon (cut into 4 equal pieces)
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

Remove the salmon from the fridge 15–20 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet, pour in the glaze between salmon pieces, and let it bubble for about 30 seconds.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
