Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon fillets are pan-fried in the
most beautiful honey-orange-garlic sauce, with a splash of soy for added
flavour!
INGREDIENTS:
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons butter,
– 4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, (170 grams each)
– 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, (about 1/2 an orange)
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
– 4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
– salt and cracked black pepper,
to taste
– 1/2 an orange, sliced to serve
METHOD:
1. Heat butter (or oil) in a pan
or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes.
Flip and sear for 2 minutes.
2. Pour in the orange juice and
allow to reduce to half the quantity (it takes about 1 minute to reduce down if
your pan is hot enough).
Add the garlic and cook
until fragrant (30 seconds).
Move the salmon to the
sides of the pan and add in the honey and soy sauce, stirring well to combine
all of the flavours together.
3. Bring to a simmer until
reduced to a nice syrup (this takes about another 30 seconds to 1 minute), and
move the salmon around in the sauce to evenly coat. Remove from heat once the
salmon is cooked to your liking.
4. Season with salt and pepper to
your tastes. Drizzle with the sauce to serve. Best served over rice, noodles,
steamed vegetables or with a sala
