Instructions

Pat the salmon dry, then season with ¼ teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Add the salmon and toss gently, then let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the salmon from the marinade (set the marinade aside) and place it in 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. Set the salmon aside on a plate.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, then lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Return the salmon to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and serve it over cooked rice.

Notes

For added flavor, let the salmon marinate for a longer period if time allows.
Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite vegetables or herbs for extra freshness.
