Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine orange juice, brown sugar, olive oil, and ginger and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid reduces to about half the amount. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Pat dry the salmon with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Place the salmon in the pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn each fillet over with a spatula and cook about 2 more minutes.

Step 3

Add orange glaze to the pan and baste the salmon with glaze. Allow glaze to reduce in the pan, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with cilantro leaves and orange slices.
