INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut salmon in half to form two equal portions and place in appropriate sized bowl.
2. In a small bowl, mix Dijon, soy, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour half of marinade over salmon and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Reserve the remaining marinade – it will be used as a sauce when serving the salmon.
3. In a medium to large sauté pan, heat remaining tablespoon of oil over medium to medium high heat and place salmon skin side down. Discard marinade that fish was sitting in. Brown 1-2 minutes and turn one quarter turn and brown salmon side 1-2 minutes. Continue this method until the fish has been turned and browned on all sides and ends back on skin down (four turns). Lower heat to low, cover and cook four minutes until done. Poke the top; if it doesn’t spring back, it needs to cook for longer. (We prefer our salmon slightly rare which reduced the final cooking time to three minutes for our two pieces.)
4. Serve immediately and spoon reserved marinade over the fish. (Do not use the marinade that touched the uncooked salmon as a sauce.)
