    Remove salmon from marinade and rub with oil; reserve marinade. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until hot. Add salmon; cook, flipping once, until dark brown, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add about half of the reserved marinade during last minute of cooking, flip salmon to coat. Transfer to a plate. Let stand 5 minutes then flake into large chunks.
    Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in boullion powder and white parts of the scallion. Reduce to a simmer, and cook 3 minutes. Set aside.
