- 1.3 lb salmon filet (skin on)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 stalks scallions
- 5 slices ginger
- 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
- ½ teaspoon sugar or honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 4 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
- Season the salmon filet by sprinkling ⅛ teaspoon of salt evenly across the surface. Allow it to rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of neutral cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. The oil should shimmer but not smoke.
- Add the sliced ginger and scallions to the hot oil. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Sear the salmon filet skin-side down in the pan for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing rice wine, and ½ teaspoon sugar (or honey) over the salmon. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook the salmon for an additional 3-5 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
