Instructions

Step 1: Pat 2 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crispy and edges turn opaque. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return salmon to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the fillets for 1 minute to warm through. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
