    ~10 min

    Heat {Vegetable oil} in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the {Salmon} skin-side down if skinned on one side, and cook for 4 minutes until lightly golden. Flip, add the glaze, and cook for 3 more minutes, spooning the bubbling glaze over the fish until glossy and caramelized.
