In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering.

Generously season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them skin-side up in the hot skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Remove the cooked salmon fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent them lightly with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, maintain the medium heat and add orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk together for about 30-60 seconds until heated through.

If a thicker glaze is preferred, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it into the sauce, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, gently tossing them in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated. Optional: add orange slices for flavor.

Transfer the salmon to serving plates, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm, perhaps alongside steamed broccoli or roasted potatoes.
