  3. Place salmon filets in the ziplock bag and marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add salmon filets making sure not to overcrowd pan (I had to cook two at a time).
  5. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  6. Meanwhile heat the reserved marinade in the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  7. Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

desired.
