This is one of my favorite salmon recipes because it’s easy, fast and full of flavor. Instead of sugar, I use agave, which is so sweet that I only need to use a bit to get the right flavor. To balance this sweetness, I add lemon juice and some soy sauce, but you must be careful when cooking because agave syrup caramelizes – just like sugar – it leaves a golden and delicious brown crust on the salmon, but if the heat is too high, the salmon tends to get burned and bitter.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets with skin
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons agave
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 peeled garlic cloves
Fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
Steamed broccoli
Cooked sweetcorn
Cherry tomatoes

Directions

1

Clean the salmon fillets, put them in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2

In a different bowl, mix the agave, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pour over the salmon, add the garlic and rosemary and let marinade for about 45 minutes.
3

In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
4

Drain the salmon and cook with the skin down first. Add garlic and rosemary leaves to the pan so they release their scent.
5

Turn the salmon over and cook it for two or three more minutes or until the salmon is slightly golden brown.
6

In the meantime, you can boil the marinade and serve it as sauce.
7

Remove from the pan and serve with broccoli, corn, and tomato.
