Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and season it with smoked paprika and black pepper.
- Mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl until mostly combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon in the pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until naturally browned.
- Flip the salmon and lower the heat to medium. Add the butter followed by the brown sugar mixture.
- Let the sauce bubble gently around the salmon for 2 to 4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top as it thickens. Cook until the salmon flakes easily and is cooked through.
- Add warm white rice to a bowl and place the glazed salmon over it. Spoon a little of the sticky pan sauce over the salmon and rice.
- Top with green onion or sesame seeds if using and serve warm.
