This is a healthy dish to put together for a quick weeknight dinner. I recommend using fresh ingredients for this recipe for the optimal flavor, instead of using any powdered substitutes.

Ingredients
  

  • (2) 5 oz Fresh Wild Caught Salmon Filets
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp Grapeseed Oil Or any oil with a high smoke point
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • Green Onions (optional); sliced
  • Sesame Seeds (optional)

Marinade

  • 1.5 tbsp Fresh Ginger minced
  • 1 Small Shallot minced
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Orange Juice
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 tbsp Mirin

Instructions
 

  • Clean and pat dry 2 filets of Salmon. Season these with salt and pepper. Set aside in a glass dish.
  • Create marinade by combining soy sauce, orange juice, honey, minced ginger, minced shallots, and minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients together and poor marinade over salmon filets. Allow these to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Over medium to high heat, take a nonstick pan, add 2 tbsp of cooking oil (I used grapeseed). Once oil comes up to temperature, place salmon filets skin side down inside of the pan. (Be sure to save the marinade)
  • Allow these to cook briefly (1 minute or so) on the skin side before flipping. I would also recommend removing any pieces of minced garlic or ginger on the salmon before flipping to ensure these do not burn during the searing process.
  • Once salmon filets almost reach the desired internal temperature, reduce heat and pour in leftover marinade inside of the cooking pan and over the salmon. Tilt the pan slightly and lightly base or coat the top of the salmon repeatedly with the marinade sauce. Once desired temperature is reached, remove salmon from cooking pan.
  • To create a glaze for the top of the salmon, construct a slurry by mixing together 1 tbsp of corn starch (or flour if you do no have corn starch) and 2 tbsp of water. Once combined, pour the slurry inside of the pan and whisk mixture together until thickened. Remove from heat and pour on top for salmon for serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
