Instructions

Pat the salmon dry and season with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, orange zest, orange juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Add the salmon and toss gently; let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve marinade) and add to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without stirring until lightly browned, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, lower heat to medium, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Add the salmon back to the sauce and stir to coat.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
