Heat the oil in a pan on medium high, add the salmon. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side, leave the salmon just a little under cooked.

Add the sauce to the pan and stir as it thickens. Place the salmon back in the pan and spoon the sauce over it as it finishes cooking, about a minute or two. Careful not to overcook.

Place salmon on your plate and spoon sauce over it or you can be like me and spoon the sauce over everything. Let's Eat!!
