Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon
This Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon is a flavor explosion! Sweet, savory, and oh-so-easy to make!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 4 6-ounce fillets skinless salmon
- 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)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic. This sweet and tangy mixture will create a beautiful glaze for the salmon.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely, creating a rich base for cooking the salmon.
- Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and cracked pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets over. Pour the honey orange glaze over the top of the fillets. Allow the glaze to bubble and thicken slightly, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes. The salmon should be cooked through but still tender in the center.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle any leftover glaze from the pan over the top. Garnish with slices of fresh orange for a pop of color and flavor.
