  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1/2 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water
– 1 orange, zested and sliced (for garnish)
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Orange Teriyaki Salmon is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for about 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the heated skillet, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until browned. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
5. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, pour the remaining marinade. Mix cornstarch with water in a separate bowl and add it to the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Glaze the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the fillets, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with orange slices, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds if desired.
8. Serve: Plate the salmon with a drizzle of extra sauce over the top.
