Prep Time
15 minutes
Number of Servings
Serves 3
Ingredients
  • [q:1/2] tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos
  • [q:1/4] tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 (2 inch) piece peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 lb wild salmon, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • [q:1 1/2] Tbsp ghee, divide
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 275°.
  2. Make sauce: in a small bowl, combine mustard, maple syrup, tamari, and red pepper flakes. Grate ginger and garlic directly into bowl. Stir well to combine.
  3. Place salmon in a large bowl. Sprinkle smoked paprika on fish and massage until coated.
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the ghee to skillet. Add fish, skin side down, to pan, dividing it into batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding skillet. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. If cooking in batches, remove fish from pan. Add more ghee, if necessary, and brown second batch of fish. Continue until all salmon has been cooked.
  6. Add all fish back to pan and lower heat to medium. Pour sauce into pan and stir to coat fish. Cook for 1 minute. Transfer pan to oven and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
