Ingredients

25 mins
2 servings
  1. 2fresh salmon fillets
  2. Salt, black pepper to taste, and a drizzle of olive oil
  3. 150 mlFreshly squeezed orange juice
  4. 1-2 tablespoons (adjust based on your taste)Honey
  5. 1 tablespoonSoy sauce
  6. 1 teaspoonLemon juice
  7. 1 teaspoonMinced garlic
  8. 1/2 teaspoonMinced ginger

Cooking Instructions

25 mins
  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
