Step 1

Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and add to the pan, skin side up. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown on top. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches an internal temp 145°F on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion.

Step 3

Remove from the skillet to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Return the skillet to the stove top and lower the heat to medium.

Step 4

Whisk together the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic and cornstarch slurry, if using.

Step 5

Add to the same skillet that you cooked the salmon in and cook until hot. The mixture will thicken in about 30-60 seconds if using cornstarch.

Step 6

Return the salmon to the pan and coat with the sauce. Add additional orange slices, if desired.
