Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, which takes about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet and cook for approximately 4 minutes. Flip the fillets gently and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir to deglaze the skillet.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water, cooking for another 2 minutes until glossy.
  6. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the thickened glaze over each piece. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Transfer the glazed salmon onto serving plates, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of orange zest.
