This is an entree so light, elegant and easy to make that it is suitable
for dinner tonight as well as an intimate break-fast meal for Yom Kippur,
which falls on Saturday evening this year. Serve with steamed broccoli.
Course: Main Course
Features: Gluten-Free, Fast, Healthy, Kid-Friendly
Servings: 4

1 large orange
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp freshly grated ginger root
2 tsp finely chopped pickled ginger
2 Tbsp honey
4 center-cut salmon fillets, preferably skinless (about 1 lb), pin
bones removed
1 to 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

Grate the zest and squeeze the juice from the orange (there should be
1/4 to 1/2 cup juice).

In a large lidded skillet, combine the orange zest and juice, chicken
broth, both types of ginger and the honey and bring just to a boil
over medium-high heat, stirring to mix well. Reduce the heat to
medium-low and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add
the salmon, cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then use spatulas
to carefully turn the fish over and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or
until cooked through. Transfer the salmon to a plate and cover
loosely to keep warm.

Increase the heat to medium-high and cook just until the sauce in
the skillet comes to a boil. Whisk in the butter, stirring until
the sauce has slightly thickened. Divide the fillets among individual
plates; spoon the warm sauce over and serve immediately.
