Technique to learn

Skillet Reduction Glazing (Huli Huli Style)

Continually spooning a sweet reduction over seared fish coats it in a shiny glaze while retaining interior moisture.

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 2: Heat sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Season salmon fillets lightly with salt and place them skin-side down in the skillet, searing for 4 minutes until crispy.

Step 4: Flip the salmon fillets over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until almost done, then transfer fillets temporarily to a warm plate.

Step 5: Pour the prepared pineapple soy glaze into the skillet and add the pineapple chunks, bringing the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 6: Simmer glaze for 3 to 4 minutes until it reduces into a glossy, slightly thick syrup.

Step 7: Return the seared salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the bubbly glaze continuously over the top for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

Step 8: Scatter sliced green onions over the salmon skillet and serve immediately.

Cooking tips

Press down gently on the salmon fillets with a spatula when first placing skin-side down to ensure crisp skin.
Keep skillet heat at medium while reducing the sauce so the pineapple juice caramelizes without scorching the soy sauce.
