Ingredients

1.5 lbs Salmon center-cut, skin removed and cut into 2-3 fillets
¼ tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt optional
½ tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
2 tbsp Olive Oil for cooking
1 cup Teriyaki Sauce warm, click for my recipe that has a sugar-free and regular options, or use your favorite from the store.

Instructions

Dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel
Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
Lightly sprinkle both sides of the salmon with it.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat with olive oil
Cook salmon until the center flakes with a fork (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the salmon from heat
Top with the teriyaki sauce and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Pat the salmon dry: This helps it sear better in the skillet.
Use fillets close in size: They will cook more evenly.
Go light on the salt: The right amount depends on how salty your teriyaki sauce is.
Add the sauce at the end: This keeps the sauce glossy and helps the salmon keep its texture.
Warm the teriyaki sauce first: It spoons over the salmon more smoothly.
Cook just until the salmon flakes: That keeps it tender.
