Press the moisture out of the salmon fillets with kitchen paper towels as much as possible, and check for any remaining bones.
If there is skin, make 2–3 shallow cuts with a knife to prevent the fish from shrinking, then sprinkle salt on both sides.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan until it begins to smoke, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
Place the salmon in the pan and cook over low heat without moving it until the shape sets.
In a separate small pan, combine equal parts butter and black sugar and mix lightly to prepare the sauce.
Add a piece of butter to the pan with the salmon, cover with a lid to ensure even heat distribution throughout the flesh.
Evenly coat the salmon surface with the prepared black sugar butter sauce, then sprinkle a little more salt.
Pour off excess oil from the pan, increase the heat to high, and pour in the whiskey to flambé and remove any fishy odor.
Finish by drizzling a small amount of honey around the salmon to add sweetness and shine.
Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and pour the remaining sauce from the pan over the top as a finishing touch.
Remove moisture from the salmon, score the skin, and season with salt.
Heat oil in a pan, add the salmon, and cook slowly over low heat; use butter and a lid to ensure even cooking through the center.
Coat with black sugar butter sauce, then finish with whiskey and honey over high heat for rich aroma.
Cooking tips 💡
Fishy odors mainly come from the skin and scales, so gently scrape the skin surface in the opposite direction with a knife to remove impurities.
Do not move the salmon immediately after placing it in the pan, as this may cause the flesh to break or stick to the pan—wait until the surface firms up first.
