Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin removed, about 6 oz. each)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Flavor Expedition Co. Dragons Twilight seasoning
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted if you’re feeling fancy)
  • Optional: cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the Magic: In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and Dragons Twilight. Place the salmon in the marinade and let it soak up the flavor for 3 minutes. Flip fillets and marinate another 3 minutes. (No need to over-marinate—this rub means business.)

  2. Sear & Sizzle: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add salmon and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove from skillet and tent loosely with foil.

  3. Make It Saucy: Pour the leftover marinade into the same skillet. Add rice vinegar and stir continuously for about 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened and glossy.

  4. Finish Strong: Drizzle that spicy-sweet glaze over the cooked salmon. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, spooning extra sauce on top like a flavor boss.

Pro Tip

  • Want a citrus twist? Add a splash of orange juice to the marinade.
  • Grilling instead of pan-searing? Brush with glaze near the end of cook time and prepare for applause.
