Tender Oven-Baked Salmon with a Vibrant Orange Glaze
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 oz 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 pepper to taste
- ½ orange, sliced to serve
Preparation:
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 minutes.
2. Pour in orange juice and let it reduce by half (about 1 minute). Add garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
3. Move salmon to the side, add honey and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Simmer until sauce thickens (30 seconds to 1 minute). Coat salmon in sauce.
