  3. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side up (flesh-side down), and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.

  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with the remaining glaze from the pan.
