1-First: heat the olive oil and butter in a pan over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot this step is crucial for getting that golden sear. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes to develop a great texture. Then, flip them and sear the other side for 2 minutes, keeping the fish moist and tender inside. Next, pour in the fresh orange juice and let it reduce by half, which only takes about 1 minute if your pan is hot enough, adding that bright citrus note.

2-After that, add the crushed or minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant, filling your kitchen with an amazing aroma. Move the salmon to the sides of the pan, then add the honey and low-sodium soy sauce to the center, stirring them together thoroughly. Simmer this mixture until it thickens to a syrupy consistency in 30 seconds to 1 minute, and don’t forget to spoon it over the salmon for even coating that’s what makes it so deliciously glazed! Finally, remove the pan from the heat when the salmon reaches your preferred doneness, season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper, and drizzle the sauce over the fillets before serving. For an extra crunch, if you’re using an oven-safe pan, broil for the last 2 minutes to get those crispy edges it’s a total wow factor!
