Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillets cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 large orange juiced and zested, about ½ cup of juice and 1 teaspoon of zest
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and season with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Add the salmon and toss gently. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve marinade) and add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook 2 minutes without stirring, until lightly browned. Flip and cook another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Lower heat to medium and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add salmon back to the sauce and stir to coat.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Feel free to substitute the rice with quinoa or noodles for a different base.
This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
