This blend of flavors makes the dish appealing to a wide range of tastes, as it’s neither too heavy nor too light, striking the perfect middle ground for any meal.

Materials needed:

1 non-stick pan

1 teaspoon

1 tablespoon

Ingredients needed:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons butter

4 skinless salmon fillets, 6-ounce fillets

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

1 pinch salt to taste

1 pinch cracked pepper to taste

1/2 orange sliced to serve (optional)

Instructions:

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.

Pour in the orange juice and allow it to reduce to half its original quantity (it takes about 1 minute to reduce if the pan is hot enough). Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds). Move the salmon to the sides of the pan and add the honey and soy sauce, stirring well to combine all of the flavours together.

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 the salmon from the heat once it is cooked to your liking.

Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Drizzle with the sauce to serve.

Enjoy! ( Best served over rice, noodles, roasted or mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or with a salad.)
