Heat a pan and add the figs to it.

Add 2 ounces of rice wine vinegar and 2 ounces of sugar to the pan with the figs.

Sprinkle a little kosher salt into the mixture and let it cook down for about 3 minutes, rehydrating the figs.

Mash the figs with a spatula as they cook down until they become soft and syrupy.

Set the fig mixture aside once it reaches a nice consistency.

Heat another pan and add extra virgin olive oil to sauté the salmon.

Season the salmon on both sides with extra virgin olive oil and kosher salt.

Place the salmon in the hot pan presentation side down to create a hard sear.

After searing, flip the salmon over and add the fig glaze on top.

Transfer the salmon to an oven preheated to 350°F (or 400°F if not using convection) for 4-5 minutes to finish cooking.

Check the salmon to ensure it is medium-rare before serving.
