Recipe View To serve, gracefully cascade the caramelized onions and their flavorful olive oil over the seared salmon fillets, creating a harmonious symphony of taste and texture.

For an extra layer of complexity, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the caramelized onions during the last minute of cooking.
If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to a pinch or omit it entirely.
Ensure the skillet is sufficiently hot before adding the salmon to achieve a beautiful sear and prevent sticking.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! The salmon is so flavorful, and the caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness that balances the spice perfectly.

    I was skeptical about the brown sugar in the marinade, but it creates the most delicious crust on the salmon. My family devoured it!
