Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 6 salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon black strap molasses
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp blackened fish seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine black strap molasses, pineapple juice, white balsamic vinegar and garlic into a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. Place the salmon fillets into the marinade mixture in a container or freezer bag and place in the fridge for two hours.
  3. Remove the fillets from the marinade and pour the remaining mixture into a small pot and bring it to a boil. Once the mixture has thickened, turn off the pot and set aside and allow to cool.

  4. Season salmon with salt, pepper and blackened fish seasoning (optional).

  5. Heat canola oil in a pan on med-high heat and sear the salmon for 5-7 minutes on each side, dusting the marinade on each side ensuring that both sides are glazed.
  6. After cooking for 7-8 minutes on one side, flip the salmon over and glaze the remaining side with the mixture and sear for 7-8 more minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If you are using salmon that has the skin on the bottom, start with a cold skillet and add the 2 tbsp of canola oil and lightly salt the bottoms of the pan.
This way the bottom of the salmon has a chance to heat evenly throughout on both sides.
