written by The Recipe Exchange | November 17, 2021

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt, pulsed gently in a food processor
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
16 ounces salmon, cut into 4 fillets, with skin
olive oil

Directions

Preheat the broiler to 450 degrees F.

Mix together the sugar, salt, and black pepper into a shallow bowl. Dip each salmon fillet into the mixture and properly coat them.

Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place fillets into the pan, skin-side down. Saute for five minutes.

Flip each fillet onto the other side and saute for another 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle more sugar onto the salmon fillets.

Place the pan into the oven, allowing it to broil for about 5-10 minutes. Allow the salmon to properly cool before peeling off the skin and serving.
