Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker glaze)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Orange slices and fresh herbs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat, preferably with a nonstick pan.
- Add a little oil to the skillet and cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally. Dissolve cornstarch in water if you prefer a thicker glaze and add to the pan. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, spooning glaze over the fillets. Let simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat evenly.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, use cornstarch as specified.
- You can substitute other firm fish like trout or cod if desired.
- Serve with sides like rice or a fresh salad, garnished with orange slices or herbs.
