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 juice and 1 teaspoon zest)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon 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 of salt and black pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Add salmon pieces and gently toss to coat. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Using a slotted spoon, take the salmon out of the marinade (keep marinade aside) and place it in the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until lightly browned, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until just done. Transfer to a plate.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and let it simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Return salmon to the skillet and coat it with the sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over cooked rice.
