Fire Cracker Salmon with Peach Salsa
Firecracker Salmon is a one skillet winner for your dinner rotation that will have everyone licking their plates! It’s made of succulent, buttery tender salmon with a seasoned crust bathed in a spicy, savory-sweet firecracker sauce pumped with Asian sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil and Asian chili sauce with the option to top it all off with refreshing Peach Salsa. And don't let the word "firecracker" scare you - YOU control the heat by controlling the Asian chili sauce. The pan seared salmon caramelizes while soaking up the tantalizing sauce for a restaurant worthy dinner in minutes and there is ZERO chopping if you forgo the Peach Salsa! Serve your Firecracker Salmon with coconut rice and sesame ginger bok choy and give into your desires to lick the plate.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
If using, prepare Peach Salsa by combing all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
2
Whisk all of the Firecracker Sauce ingredients together in a separate medium bowl, set aside.
3
Whisk all of the flour and salmon seasonings together in a large shallow dish (like a pie plate). Pat the salmon dry, then dredge each piece in the mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Transfer to plate.
4
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large cast iron skillet (may also use nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and sear the first side until deeply golden, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Flip over and sear the other side for ⏱️ 2 minutes.
5
Pour the Firecracker Sauce over top. Bring to a simmer until the salmon is cooked to your liking (I recommend 130 degrees F on an instant read thermometer), about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Note: cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of salmon.
6
Remove from heat and spoon the sauce over the salmon. Serve with Peach Salsa or garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Delicious served with rice.
