Orange Glazed Salmon
Orange Glazed Salmon is a quick and easy seafood dish with a sweet and savory glaze.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- salt
- pepper
- ½ cup orange juice fresh squeezed from 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
- Heat the butter in a large skillet on medium-high.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and add to the pan, skin side up. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on top. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove from the skillet to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Return the skillet to the stove top and lower the heat to medium.
- Whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic and cornstarch slurry, if using.
- Add to the same skillet that you cooked the salmon in and cook until hot. The mixture will thicken in about 30-60 seconds if using cornstarch.
- Return the salmon to the pan and coat with the sauce. Add additional orange slices, if desired.
Notes
For a thicker glaze-like sauce, use the optional cornstarch slurry. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
