Salmon in Orange Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (220-250g)
• 2 oranges (juice)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Olive oil
• 1-2 saffron threads (optional)

1. In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice (remove the pips), 1 tbsp olive oil, about 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper (to your taste), and the saffron.

2. Leave the salmon to marinate in this mixture for at least 1 hour, turning the fillets halfway through.
3. Don’t discard the marinade when you cook the salmon!
4. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and place the fillets skin-side down for about 5 minutes.
5. While the salmon sears, add a few spoonfuls of the marinade to the fish and let it sizzle; this will create a caramelised crust on the bottom.
6. Flip the fillets and continue basting with the juice for another 5 minutes or so.
7. Remove the fillets and set them aside on a separate plate, then add all the remaining marinade to the frying pan and reduce over a medium heat.
