In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hot sauce, salt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and maple syrup until well combined.
:Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the salmon is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated salmon fillet to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
In the same skillet, add the cream to the remaining marinade and cook over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.
:Place the cooked salmon on a plate and drizzle the creamy soy and maple glaze over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Control the Heat: When cooking the salmon, use medium heat to ensure the exterior gets nicely seared without burning, while the inside cooks evenly and remains moist. This is especially important when using a creamy sauce, as high heat can cause the cream to separate or scorch.
