Orange Blossom Honey Ginger Salmon Recipe 

Ingredients:

  • 4 Portions (7-8 Ounce) Of Fresh Salmon Fillet, Skin On

  • 4 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

  • 5 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter

  • Mango Puree 

  • 2 Shallots, Diced

  • Pulp free orange Juice

  • White wine

  • Shallots 

  • Fresh ginger

  • 4 Tbsp. Fresh Ginger, Peeled And Chopped

  • 1/2 Cup Orange Blossom Honey

  • 1 Fresh Navel Orange

  • Sea Salt And Freshly Cracked Pepper

Directions:

Take the fillets and with a very sharp knife lightly score the skin side several times and then season with sea salt and pepper. 

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it just begins to smoke, and carefully add the fillets. Add 1 Tbsp. of the butter. Shake the pan gently to make sure they don’t stick. Sear the fillets on the skin side for two minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and continue searing for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the fish just starts to flake. Use a spoon to baste the skin with the hot oil to make it crispy. 

Remove the fillets and set them on paper towels to drain. Reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and ginger and sauté for 2 minutes being careful not to let either brown. Add the orange juice and honey and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add the rest of the butter, swirling it in until it's completely dissolved. Ladle over the salmon and serve immediately.
