Remove salmon from the refrigerator an hour before cooking to bring it close to room temperature.
2
Pat both sides of salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
3
Season flesh side of salmon fillets with kosher salt.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Add salmon, skin-side down, to pan, pressing firmly with a spatula to avoid the ends curling up. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the flesh turns from translucent to opaque all the way up the sides.
6
Flip the salmon and cook for another 2 minutes on the flesh side. Then, transfer the salmon to a plate and wipe the skillet clean.
7
Return the skillet to burner over medium heat and add unsalted butter.
8
Once the butter has melted, whisk in pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
9
Add salmon back to the skillet and use a spoon to generously coat the salmon fillets in the maple-mustard glaze. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve.
