• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from approximately 1 orange)

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water (optional, for a thicker glaze)

   • Whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch slurry (if using).

   • Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes hot and thickens slightly, about 30–60 seconds.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Spoon the glaze over the salmon to coat.

   • If desired, add orange slices to the skillet for added flavor and garnish.
