Preparation:

Take a 6.5 oz. Coho filet and top with chiffonade basil and minced ginger. Press top side down in sugar/pepper (4 parts sugar to 1 part pepper) mixture. Heat sauté pan and olive oil. Add filet to pan and carefully watched as to only caramelize salmon and not to carbonize (burning is bad). Flip salmon, deglazing with triple sec and bake.
