Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets (skin on)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic (crushed or minced)
- 1 pinch salt (to taste)
- 1 pinch cracked pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 orange sliced (to serve)
Instructions
- Heat the butter (or oil) in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat until melted and sizzling.
- Sear the salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and sear for another 2 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp up beautifully.
- Pour in the fresh orange juice and allow it to reduce to half over approximately 1 minute.
- Toss in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, filling your kitchen with aromatic goodness.
- Move the salmon to the sides of the pan, then drizzle in the honey and soy sauce, stirring well to ensure everything is mixed together.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer until it reduces to a syrupy consistency, which should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Gently move the salmon around in the pan to coat it evenly with the luscious sauce.
- Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle the flavor-packed sauce generously over the salmon before serving.
