Salmon in Oyster Sauce

Flavorful
Description

Pan-seared salmon in a savory oyster sauce glaze with soy, garlic, and ginger. Rich, umami-packed, and slightly sweet—perfect with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 green onions, sliced 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 pounds salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
Directions
  1. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and brown sugar, and cook until garlic is lightly browned. Stir in green onions, and cook until tender. Mix in oyster sauce and water.
  2. Place salmon fillets into skillet, and reduce heat to medium low. Spoon sauce mixture over fillets. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
  3. Remove fish from skillet, and set aside. Mix cornstarch and warm water into the remaining sauce mixture. Stir until thickened to desired consistency. Pour over salmon to serve.

Deep Chocolate Cookies with Milk Chocolate Chips

One time, I made a similar cookie (one that also called for melted chocolate in the batter) with a Valrhona chocolate bar that, unbeknownst to me, was flavored with orange. My sister and I could not for the lives of us figure out what had made the cookies taste so good. Finally, a teacher (we had baked the cookies for a class of hers) came out with it: "I love the orange flavor," she said completely casually. That said, these cookies are great made with regular semi-sweet Ghiradelli chocolate chips, which is what I used here.
