Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
3. Step 3: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn opaque and the skin is crisp.
4. Step 4: Flip the salmon and pour the citrus honey glaze over the fillets. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon as it thickens and coats the fish.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat once salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky, about 145°F internal temperature. Serve immediately.
