Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine fresh orange juice, honey, minced garlic, and leaves from fresh rosemary, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate solids, and whisk in lemon juice and orange zest.
  3. Bring salmon fillets to room temperature, pat dry, and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear salmon fillets skin-side down until golden and crispy.
  5. Brush half of the glaze over the seared salmon and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F to bake.
  6. Brush remaining glaze over salmon during the last 2 minutes of baking, then let it rest before serving.
