Ingredients
- 4 salmon skin on or skinless depending on your taste, fillets
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 -6 thyme leaves removed, fresh, sprigs
- orange juice about 1/4 cup, juice of 1 orange
- orange juice extra, for drizzling
Notes
- Make sure your pan is well preheated before adding the fish fillets.
- Cook the salmon for 3 minutes per side for medium, longer if you want it cooked through all the way.
- Cooking times depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets. When fillet turns a light pink color about 1/2 of the way through, flip it. If your salmon is sticking to the pan, let it fry for another minute.
