Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups baby arugula
- 1 medium orange orange slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side-down, in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Turn the fillets over carefully and pour the honey glaze over the salmon. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets as they cook.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Allow it to rest while you prepare the salad.
In a large bowl, combine the baby arugula, orange slices, and chopped dill. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently to coat.
Plate each salmon fillet and serve with a generous portion of the citrus herb salad on the side.
Optional: garnish the dish with a lemon wedge or additional dill for presentation.
