Caramelized Ginger Salmon

First, assemble the sauce: mix brown sugar, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, sherry, and red pepper flakes. Spread oil all over salmon pieces, then sprinkle on salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. When the pan is nice and hot, add the salmon pieces. Cook for 1 minute, then gently flip using a sturdy spatula (to avoid breaking the salmon). Cook for 1 minute on the second side, and add the sauce. Leave heat on high or medium-high and cook for 3 minutes. Add lime juice and turn fillets again to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes, then add the cilantro and green onions, and cook for 1 final minute or until the fish is just done (be careful not to overcook it).

Serve over rice.
