Step-by-Step Instructions for Orange Glazed Salmon
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook in the skillet skin-side up for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Remove the salmon, cover with foil to keep warm, and lower skillet heat to medium.
  5. Add orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic into the skillet. For thicker glaze, mix cornstarch with water and add. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return salmon to the skillet, spoon the glaze over top, and warm for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Plate the salmon, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with fresh orange slices before serving.
