Asian Glazed Salmon

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 lb salmon fillets skin-on, pat dry

  (up to 1 1/2-inch thick, about 3.5cm)
• pinch of salt
• cooking oil

Instructions

• 1 To a small saucepan, add 3 tablespoons fish sauce, ½ teaspoon black pepper,
  scant ¼ teaspoon five-spice powder and 3 tablespoons honey. Turn on the heat to
  medium and stir to combine the ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for a couple
  minutes or until it is bubbling all over the surface as in the video. Transfer
  the sauce to a bowl and set aside.
• 2 Heat a pan over medium heat. Sprinkle small pinches of salt and black pepper
  over the salmon fillets. Once the pan is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side
  down and sear for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 1-2
  minutes.
• 3 Remove all the oil from the pan. You can use a spoon to do this, or temporarily
  take the salmon out of the pan to discard the oil and then put the salmon back
  to the pan.
• 4 Pour the sauce into the pan and give it about 20 seconds to simmer gently. Place
  the fillets skin side down and use a spoon to baste them with the sauce for a
  few more minutes.
• 5 Transfer the salmon with all the sauce to serving plates and serve right away.
