Sweet Ginger & Maple Salmon

Ingredients:

4 small fillets of salmon
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons freshly minced Ginger
Juice from 1/2 a Lime
2 Teaspoons Sesame Seeds


Directions:

Mix maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, lime and sesame seeds in a small bowl or jar. Shake or stir until well blended.
Preheat pan with olive oil until shimmery, then add lightly salted salmon, skin side down (for best results, make sure salmon has been out of refrigeration for 10-15 minutes before cooking, and that any additional moisture has been patted away) cook over medium high heat for around 4 minutes— slightly more or less depending on thickness of salmon. Flip and cook for additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately coat salmon fillets with maple ginger sauce.

Best served over a green salad featuring goat cheese, craisins, and a tangy ginger sesame dressing.
