Ingredients
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 Grated zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup neutral oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare the citrus dressing by whisking together the orange juice, white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl until well combined.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle the neutral oil into the juice mixture to emulsify and create a smooth, cohesive dressing. Set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the flesh side develops a golden crust.
Flip the salmon fillets and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter and drizzle generously with the citrus dressing.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm.
