It’s all about the sear when you use a cast iron pan to prepare salmon!
Directions
Marinate
1. Combine the maple syrup, ginger, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper flakes in a shallow container. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting.
2. Place fillets in the dish and marinate for one hour.
Sear
1. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat until very hot.
2. Remove fish from marinade and pat dry.
3. Place in the hot pan, skin-side down. Let it cook for about five minutes. You will see it gradually becoming opaque. Using a flexible spatula, flip your fillets skin side up. Cook an additional five minutes or until opaque throughout.
4. Baste each slice with one teaspoon of reserved marinade before serving.
