Instructions

1. 1
   On a cutting board, pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper, if desired.
2. 2
   In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Sear salmon until golden brown, 3–4 minutes. Add garlic, orange zest and juice, vinegar, soy sauce and red pepper to skillet. Gently flip salmon; cook, basting with sauce, until it flakes easily with a fork, 3–4 minutes more. Reserving liquid in skillet, transfer salmon to a plate and tent with foil.
3. 3
   Reduce heat to low; whisk cornstarch into skillet until dissolved. Continue whisking until sauce thickens, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat; return salmon to skillet and spoon with glaze.
4. 4
   Prepare salad kits according to instructions. Serve with glazed salmon and garnish with mandarin orange slices.
