Instructions

Step 1: Season 2 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
Step 5: Pour the citrus herb glaze over the salmon in the pan and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the fillets. Serve immediately.
