Place salmon in a large, non-reactive pan or dish. Combine remaining ingredients except vegetable oil. Pour marinades over salmon, turning to coat both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 1 hour.

To cook, remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Heat small amount of oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon, working in batches if necessary, for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm. Discard oil from pan. Add reserved marinade. Cook stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 8-10 minutes. Serve salmon fillets with approximately ¼ cup sauce per serving.
