(One of my all time favorites!)
4 8oz pieces of salmon (your choice skin on or off, see note)
1/2 cup soy sauce (reduced sodium)
1/2 stick of butter (I can't believe it's not butter)
3 cloves minced garlic
2 green onions
1/2 cup brown sugar (Splenda blend)
1/4 cup Crown Royal (if you just have Jack Daniels use 2 TBS)
Pepper
Rub each piece of salmon down with black pepper
Place in a big ziplock
Pour soy sauce in back
Marinate for 10 min (don't want to go too much past that bc it will get waaaaay to salty)
Melt butter in a large sauce pan over med-low heat
Once melted, add garlic and green onion
Cook for 1-2 min
Add brown sugar
Stir constantly
Cook for 3-4 min on low
On Med heat, add salmon skin side down
Pour in all the marinade (soy sauce)
Cook for 5-6 min, still constantly stirring constantly
At about 4 min, add crown. Keep stirring. When you stir, try to get the sauce on top of the fish at the same time
Flip and cook for 3-4 min
Taste, add a little more soy sauce if needed
Season with pepper to taste
You know the fish is done when it is flakey (push on it with a fork)
You don't want to cook it to where the albumin comes out! ( that's a white protein substance that comes out of the salmon if you cook it too long)
Serve immediately. Top with sauce from pan
Serve with brown rice
**your choice to do salmon with skin on or off
The skin is fatty so some healthy cooks take it off. BUT it is a good source of iron and a lot of other nutrients. I need as much iron as I can get, so I keep it on
