Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 3
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon, skin-side down (if applicable), for 3-4 minutes until skin is crispy.
- 4
Carefully flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 8-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 5
While salmon roasts, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
- 6
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then stir in the dissolved cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove from heat. Once salmon is cooked, transfer to serving plates.

Spoon the warm citrus glaze generously over each salmon fillet. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
