Ingredients
  

  • 4 good quality salmon filets
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp heat safe oil such as peanut, canola, vegetable
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix together maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl.
  • Heat a cast iron or heavy metal skillet over medium heat. Add oil.
  • Place salmon filets face down and press onto pan. After about 1 minute when salmon has slightly browned, carefully turn over. If your pan isn't large enough for 4 filets at once, cook 2 at a time.
  • Cook on second side for 2 - 3 minutes. Spoon glaze evenly over each piece of salmon. Continue to cook another minute or so until glaze starts to caramelize around bottom edge. Remove pan from heat before glaze burns.
  • Transfer salmon to foil lined baking sheet. Place under broiler for 1 -2 minutes to caramelize top. Watch carefully and remove when bubbling and browning.
