How to Make Amanda's Birthday Salmon

  1. **Make the Teriyaki Glaze:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce.
  2. **Add Aromatics:** Stir in 1 tablespoon grated ginger and 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
  3. **Simmer the Glaze:** Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. **Sear the Salmon:** In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.
  5. **Cook the Salmon:** Add salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. **Glaze the Salmon:** Pour the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, turning to coat evenly.
  7. **Finish Cooking:** Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
  8. **Serve:** Serve the salmon immediately, drizzled with extra glaze if desired. Garnish with extra green onions, if you like.
