Ingredients
  

For the salmon

  • 1 lb salmon cut into 4 portions
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons green onions for garnish
  • sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, olive oil, sesame oil, and ginger powder in a bowl. Pour it over the salmon and allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes (preferably an hour).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon portions from the marinade and return the leftover marinade to the fridge for now (it will be used as the glaze in the next step). Add the salmon skin side up and cook for a few minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes or so or until the salmon is cooked through (cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the salmon). Remove salmon from skillet and set aside.
  • To turn the leftover marinade into a glaze, add it to a saucepan and bring it a boil for a couple of minutes (its important to let it boil for awhile to kill off any bacteria). In a small cup, add cornstarch to 1/4 cup water and stir to create a slurry. Add it to the saucepan and whisk together, bringing it to a boil again. Remove glaze. Brush on top of salmon. Sprinkle salmon with sesame seeds and green onions.
