Pan Fried Orange Salmon
- 4, 6 ounce salmon fillets (cut into cubes (with or without skin))
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2–3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari

- Whisk together all sauce ingredients aside from the cornstarch in a medium bowl.
- Add the salmon cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger and oil to a pan and saute over medium/low heat for about 2 minutes.
- Use tongs to add in the salmon cubes (save the sauce but don't add to the pan) and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining sauce to a small sauce pan and bring to a very low boil.
- Whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the sauce.
- Simmer until thick, whisking occasionally.
- Once the salmon has cooked and the sauce is thick, add about 3/4 of the sauce to the salmon and let simmer for a few minutes to combine.
- You can serve exactly as is, or quickly broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes to crisp it up further.
- Assemble your bowls with a base of rice, then add your veggies, salmon and drizzle with the remaining sauce. enjoy!
