Instructions

Pat the salmon dry and season it with ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Gently toss the salmon in the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Remove the salmon from the marinade using a slotted spoon (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring until lightly browned, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, lower the heat to medium, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Return the salmon to the skillet and stir to coat with the glaze.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.

Notes

Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Marinating the salmon for more than 10 minutes allows for deeper flavor absorption.
