Note

Since the original ingredient list was incomplete, ensure you have fresh orange juice, zest, a touch of honey or sugar, and a thickener like cornstarch to create the sauce.

For best results, use fresh salmon fillets or steaks that are firm and have a bright color.

You can adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more honey or sugar to taste.

Serve with steamed broccoli, asparagus, or wild rice to balance the flavors.

Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
