Pan-fried orange salmon is a delightful dish that combines the richness of salmon with the tangy sweetness of fresh orange juice. The succulent salmon is marinated in a flavorful blend of orange, honey, and soy sauce, then pan-fried to crispy perfection. Served over a bed of rice and accompanied by cooked broccoli, this dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
