3 tablespoons water

2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Seared Salmon

ginger lime sauce

Season the salmon with salt. Heat the olive oil in a skillet to hot over a medium low heat and add the salmon. Cook for 4 minutes without moving the salmon. This will sear the salmon and allow you to turn it easily onto the other side.

Turn salmon over and cook for 3 minutes. Pour half of the sauce over the fish and cook 1 additional minute.

Remove the salmon onto a plate and pour the rest of the sauce over the salmon.
