# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
450 g salmon fillets
02 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 -
Salt, to taste
04 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Glaze
05 -
120 ml freshly squeezed orange juice (from approximately 1 orange)
06 -
2 tablespoons honey
07 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce
08 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
09 -
1 teaspoon cornstarch, whisked with 1 teaspoon water (optional, for thickening)
# Steps:
01 -
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foaming.
02 -
Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place salmon, skin side up, in the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes until the surface is golden brown.
03 -
Flip the fillets. Cook an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest section reaches 63°C.
04 -
Transfer cooked salmon to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
05 -
Whisk together orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic and optional cornstarch slurry in a small bowl.
06 -
Pour the glaze mixture into the same skillet over medium heat. Cook, whisking, for 30–60 seconds until the sauce is hot and slightly thickened if using cornstarch.
07 -
Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning sauce over to coat thoroughly. Heat for 1 minute until warmed through.
08 -
Serve immediately, garnished with additional orange slices if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For a glaze with silky thickness, include the cornstarch slurry. If a lighter sauce is preferred, omit the slurry.
02 -
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in an airtight container and consume within 2–3 days.
