Salmon:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper; transfer to the skillet, skin-side up; cook for about 5 - 6 minutes, or until browned and cooked about three quarters of the way through. Flip over; cook 2 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the Brown Sugar Glaze:
In a mixing bowl, combine melted coconut oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, ginger, lime zest and juice and black pepper; whisk until thoroughly combined.
When the fish has cooked on both sides, lower heat to medium; add brown sugar glaze to the skillet;
swirl around; cook 1 minute, or until it starts to thicken, flipping each fillet around to coat.
Remove from heat.
Serve, garnished with cilantro/parsley and green onions.
4 servings.
*DON'T crowd the skillet since it's better to cook 2 salmon fillets at a time. When it's time to work with the glaze, add all the fillets to the pan, then cook for 1 minute.
