Gather your ingredients, mince 2 cloves of garlic, and juice 1 orange. Rinse salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets skin-side up for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Remove salmon, lower heat, and add orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to the skillet. If desired, mix cornstarch with water and add for a thicker glaze. Stir until slightly thickened.

Return salmon to skillet and spoon the glaze over the top. Simmer for a minute to absorb the flavors.

Serve the salmon warm, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside steamed vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes.
