Equipment

1 Dutch Oven *I used a shallow dutch oven

Ingredients

¼ cup soy sauce low sodium is the best choice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp ginger freshly grated *see notes
1 tsp oregano
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1.5 lb salmon
Pepper and salt
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

First, make the lime-ginger glaze by combining the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, cornstarch, honey, lime juice, rice vinegar, grated ginger, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a mason jar or small bowl. Either shake the mason jar or whisk the ingredients in a bowl until combined. Set aside.
If you have a large salmon filet, cut it into 2-inch filets. Season them with salt and pepper.
Drizzle olive oil into a dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the salmon filets on each side for 3-5 minutes. The cooking time is going to depend on the thickness of your filters, so be sure to watch them.
Finally, turn the heat down to medium and add the lime-ginger glaze mixture. Spoon it over the salmon and stir it around until it thickens. Turn the heat off and serve!

Notes

If you don’t have fresh ginger, swap the fresh ginger for ¼ tsp of ground ginger.

REHEATING + STORAGE

Refrigerator: Store the leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Make sure the salmon cools to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating!
Freezer: If you want, you can certainly freeze this salmon. I recommend wrapping it tightly in foil and sealing it in a freezer-safe bag. You can safely freeze it for 3 months.
Reheating: The best way to reheat this salmon is over the range. Simply heat a pan with some broth or water to medium heat, add the salmon, cover, and heat for 5-10 minutes. Or until the salmon is warmed through. The reason for adding the water or broth is to keep the salmon from drying out.

If you’re short on time, you can microwave it in a microwave-safe dish with some water, covered, on high for 2-3 minutes.
