Salmon with Orange Juice and Soy Sauce
Healthy salmon fried with a glaze of orange juice and soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 Skinless Salmon Filets
- 1 Tbsp Canola Oil
- 1/4 Cup Orange Juice
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 2 Tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 Orange, sliced for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine orange juice, honey, and soy sauce.
- Pat the salmon filets dry and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper on one side.
- Add canola oil to a skillet and heat on medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, sear the salmon filets on one side for 3-4 minutes, or until it develops a nice crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Add the orange juice mixture to the skillet and stir well to make sure the sauce is fully combined. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 1-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half.
- Check the salmon for doneness. Continue simmering if not done. If finished, flip the salmon in the skillet a couple of times to fully coat in the sauce.
- If the salmon is not done and the sauce has reduced too far, add 1 tbsp to ¼ cup of water and stir to combine, then continue cooking. This can be repeated as many times as you need until the salmon is done.
- Serve with wild rice and a side salad.
