My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Irish Whisky Glazed Salmon Steak
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 20 oz salmon steaks (or four 5oz filets)
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- Whisky marinade
- 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon raw ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low sodium tamari
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or raw honey)
- 1/2 green onion stalk, finely diced
Mix together the ingredients for the marinade and set aside.
Set a carbon steel pan on high heat. As the pan heats up, season both sides of the salmon with a pinch of sea salt & pepper.
Spray the skillet with oil, then add the salmon. Depending on the thickness of the fillet or steak, sear for 2 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until your desired readiness (i.e., medium or well done).
In the final minutes of cooking, take the skillet off the heat, then pour the marinade over the salmon steak. Continuously spoon the sauce over the salmon to glaze it.
Enjoy with fresh vegetables or with my delicious potato & cauliflower colcannon.
