Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients for Orange Glazed Salmon:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound salmon fillets
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed from approximately 1 orange)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (whisked with 1 teaspoon water, optional for a thicker glaze)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook Salmon: Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Cook in the skillet, skin side up, for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  3. Make Glaze: In the same skillet, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and cornstarch slurry. Cook until hot and thickened.
  4. Coat Salmon: Return cooked salmon to the skillet and coat with the orange glaze. Add orange slices if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze-like sauce, use the optional cornstarch slurry. For a thinner sauce, omit the slurry.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
