This summertime recipe is quick, doesn't require any fancy ingredients, and tastes as bright as the weather. When buying your salmon, I highly recommend getting it with the skin on. Even though it gets removed during the process, the skin (and underlying fat) helps protect the fish from overcooking. As an added bonus, you're left with salmon skin that can be turned into delicious chips at another time. I call that a win-win.

Ingredients

15 minutes
2 servings
  1. 2centre-cut salmon fillets, deboned and skin-on
  2. 1/3 cupfresh orange juice (I actually used mandarins)
  3. Juice of 1/2 lemon
  4. 3 clovesgarlic, finely grated
  5. 1thumb-sized nub ginger, finely grated
  6. 1/4 cupdark soy sauce
  7. 1/3 cuphoney

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    Add a splash of veg oil to a large nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and sear them skin-side down for 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and sear for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the salmon to a plate.

  2. 2

    Remove any excess oil from the pan and add the citrus juice. Simmer until half of it has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and simmer another minute. Stir in the honey.

  3. 3

    Carefully peel the skin off the fillets and lay them seared-side up in the pan. Spoon the glaze over the salmon. Let the fish finish cooking as the glaze thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve the salmon atop some simply steamed veg with a side of steamed rice.
