Description

Indulge in the perfect harmony of sweet and savory with this Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon. Pan-seared to golden perfection, these salmon fillets are draped in a luscious honey-orange-garlic glaze, with a hint of soy for a depth of flavor. Ready in just 20 minutes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or an elegant dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • ¼ cup fresh orange juice (about ½ an orange)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
  • Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ orange, sliced (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Sear the Salmon: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side up; sear for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: Add orange juice to the pan and reduce by half (about 1 minute). Stir in crushed garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Combine and Simmer: Push the salmon to the edges of the pan. Add honey and soy sauce to the center, stir, and let simmer until reduced to a syrup-like consistency (30 seconds to 1 minute). Coat salmon evenly in the glaze.
  4. Season and Serve: Remove salmon from heat, season with salt and pepper, and serve with orange slices.

Notes

  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • Use fresh, wild-caught salmon like sockeye or coho for best results.
  • To make the glaze thicker, simmer for an extra 1-2 minutes.
