A delightful salmon dish with a sweet and tangy citrus glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack in the center.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve the best broiling results.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, juice and zest of the orange, and minced garlic. Heat over medium until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir the glaze constantly to prevent it from burning.
Place the salmon fillets on a broiling pan. Season them with salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before seasoning for better flavor absorption.
Brush the salmon generously with the prepared glaze.
Apply the glaze evenly to ensure all fillets are well-coated.
Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, basting with the glaze halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Keep an eye on the salmon to prevent overcooking.
Garnish the cooked salmon with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
