Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides.
  4. Flip the salmon fillets carefully.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add the sherry, low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and lime zest to the pan.
  6. Spoon the sauce over the salmon repeatedly for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the fish.
  7. Remove the salmon from the heat and immediately sprinkle with chopped green onions.
  8. Serve the glazed salmon immediately alongside the cut mango wedges.
