Orange Glazed Salmon 

This Orange Glazed Salmon is a quick and easy, family-friendly dinner recipe. This sweet and savory seafood dish requires just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes to prepare. The salmon is pan-seared and then coated with a zesty orange glaze, making it a flavorful and healthy meal option.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of salmon fillets

• 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)

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

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

Directions

1. Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the butter (or olive oil) over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

2. Prepare the Glaze: In the same skillet, combine the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If using, add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve the salmon with the glaze drizzled over the top.
