Instructions

Step 1: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) and season with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crisp and edges turn opaque.
Step 4: Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Step 5: Pour the prepared citrus-ginger soy glaze into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon to coat and thicken slightly.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
