  • 0.8 cup orange juice 
  • 0.5 teaspoon orange peel grated
  • 24 oz boned salmon fillet

Equipment

  • frying pan

Directions

  1. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat, stir almonds until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Pour from pan.
  3. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Set the frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add salmon, skin side up, and cook until well browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn pieces and cook until opaque on the outside but still slightly translucent in center of thickest part (cut to test), 1 to 3 minutes, depending on thickness of fish, or until opaque but still moist-looking in center.
  4. Transfer salmon, skin side down, to plates or a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
  5. Add orange peel, juice, and wine to pan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 6 minutes. Stir in thyme.
  6. Spoon orange sauce over salmon and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
  7. Add salt to taste.
