A delightful salmon dish with a flavorful ginger soy glaze, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Combine the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl to create the glaze.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the salmon properly.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes.
Do not move the salmon during searing to achieve a crispy skin.
Flip the salmon and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
Use a spatula to gently flip the salmon to avoid breaking it.
Add the ginger and sauté briefly until aromatic.
Freshly grated ginger releases more flavor.
Pour the glaze into the skillet and let it reduce slightly.
Stir occasionally to prevent the glaze from burning.
Add the rice wine and scallions, and cook for another minute.
The wine adds a depth of flavor to the glaze.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and remove from heat.
Lemon juice brightens the flavors of the dish.
Serve the salmon on a plate, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
Pair with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
