Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly score the skin to help the seasonings penetrate, then season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- 2
In a small bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well until fully mixed, then set aside.
- 3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down, and cook until the skin turns golden and crispy, approximately 3 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through while remaining tender inside.
- 4
Pour the prepared orange sauce into the pan with the salmon. Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes, letting it thicken and coat the fish beautifully.
- 5
Once the sauce has reached a glossy consistency and clings to the salmon, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest or chopped cilantro to add extra color and aroma.

Refreshing Salmon with Thick Gingery Sauce Refreshing Salmon with Thick Gingery Sauce
I added some ginger and vinegar to my usual thick ankake sauce.I just came up with this idea on the spot.In place of hot water + dashi granules, you can use real dashi stock instead. I make it with dashi granules because it's easier.If you decrease the amount of vinegar, decrease the sugar as well.The ratio of the katakuriko + flour is 5:5.If possible, cook Steps 2 & 3 at the same time.Step 3: You could alternatively boil the vegetables.
