Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon
Description
Crispy Honey Orange Glazed Salmon begins with searing skinless fillets in butter or olive oil over medium-high heat to develop a golden crust. Fresh orange juice is added and reduced quickly, concentrating its citrus flavor. Garlic is briefly cooked to bring aroma without bitterness. The honey and soy sauce are then blended and simmered until thickened into a shiny glaze, uniformly coating the salmon.
The final texture combines a crisp sear with a moist interior, complemented by a sticky-sweet and lightly tangy sauce. A pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper finish the flavors. Serving suggestions include rice, noodles, steamed vegetables, or salad, which balance the richness of the glaze and fish.
An optional step is broiling or grilling the salmon briefly at the end to deepen the crispy texture on the edges, enhancing its appeal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 4 salmon 6-ounce fillets, skinless fillets
- ¼ cup orange juice about ½ an orange, fresh
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch black pepper to taste, cracked
- ½ orange sliced to serve
Instructions
- Heat butter (or oil) in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the orange juice and allow to reduce to half the quantity (it takes about 1 minute to reduce down if your pan is hot enough). Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds). Move the salmon to the sides of the pan and add in the honey and soy sauce, stirring well to combine all of the flavours together.
- Bring to a simmer until reduced to a nice syrup (this takes about another 30 seconds to 1 minute), and move the salmon around in the sauce to evenly coat. Remove from heat once the salmon is cooked to your liking.
- Season with salt and pepper to your tastes. Drizzle with the sauce to serve. Best served over rice, noodles, steamed vegetables or with a salad.
Notes
- For crispier edges, broil or grill the salmon for the last 2 minutes if using an oven-safe pan; preheat the broiler while cooking on the stove.
