Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
Step 3: Season 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with 1/4 tsp black pepper and place skin-side down in the skillet, cooking 4 minutes until the skin crisps.
