Ingredients
Salmon and Seasoning:
1 pound salmon fillets
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter
Orange Glaze:
½ cup orange juice (fresh squeezed from about 1 orange)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch whisked with 1 teaspoon water (optional, for thicker glaze)
Instructions
Heat the butter:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Season and cook salmon:
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Place salmon in the skillet, skin side up. Cook for 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove salmon and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
Make the glaze:
Lower the heat to medium.
In a bowl, whisk orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and cornstarch slurry (if using).
Cook the glaze:
Pour the glaze into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until it heats through and thickens (30–60 seconds if using cornstarch).
Coat the salmon:
Return salmon fillets to the pan and spoon the glaze over them to coat thoroughly.
Serve:
Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Garnish with fresh orange slices if desired.
Notes
Use the cornstarch slurry for a thicker, sticky glaze.
This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days.
