Oil and Seasoning

Salmon
- 4 6-ounce salmon filets (Alaskan Sockeye or Coho)

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons tamari

- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Pat salmon dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the avocado oil in a pan on medium high heat. Add salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes each side.
- While the salmon is cooking, make an arrowroot slurry by stirring together the arrowroot powder and water. Set aside.
- Once the salmon is cooked, transfer to a plate.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and sauté the minced garlic in the pan for 30 seconds. Add the orange juice, honey, tamari, thyme and arrowroot slurry. Whisk the ingredients together for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Add the salmon back to pan and spoon glaze over salmon before serving.
Notes
I recommend using a seasoned cast iron pan to ensure the salmon doesn't stick to the pan. The glaze will continue to thicken on its own during cooling process.
