I have any number of grilled salmon recipes, many of them leaning toward sweet glazes or Asian‑inspired flavors. Recently, I added a Mango Quinoa Salad to my list of favorites, and with it came yet another grilled salmon dish featuring a touch of sweetness, this time from hoisin sauce for this Hoisin Seared Salmon. It seems I’m building quite a collection of bright, sweet‑leaning salmon recipes, each one a little different but all equally delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Mango Quinoa Salad
- 6 oz center cut salmon filets/3 oz per person
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- vegetable oil for searing salmon
Instructions
Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.
- Prepare Mango Quinoa Salad and reserve until ready to serve.
- Season 6 oz center cut salmon filets/3 oz per person with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside for up to an hour before cooking.
- Heat vegetable oil for searing salmon in a medium sized skillet over medium high heat and add the salmon filets, skin side down. Sear for 3 minutes undisturbed. Brush 1 tbsp hoisin sauce over the top of the salmon while it's searing on the first side.
