Salmon:

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt. When the oil starts to shimmer, place the salmon, skin-side up, in the pan.
Cook for about 4 minutes, until golden brown on the first side. Turn the fish over with a spatula, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until the fillets feel firm to the touch.
Transfer the salmon fillets to plates or a platter and spoon the glaze generously over top.
