Grandpa Len’s Seared Salmon

  • 4 center-cut salmon fillets, skin on, about 8 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For marinade:

  • ½ cup white-wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  1. Combine marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. Cool.
  2. Place the salmon in the marinade and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet for 30 seconds.
  4. Remove salmon from the marinade and place in hot skillet, skin-side down. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, lifting salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, cover: cook 3 to 4 minutes, until fish is just cooked through. Serve immediately.
