Ingredients

• olive oil spray
• 2 (8oz.) salmon steaks OR filets
• salt and ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup fresh cranberries

Directions

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil spray. Add the salmon steaks and cook 4 minutes. Turn and cook 4 minutes for a 1-inch thick steak. Cook 3 minutes per side for a 3/4-inch steak. If using salmon filets instead of salmon steaks, cook about 8 minutes for a 1-inch thick filet. Remove to a plate. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Pour orange juice into skillet and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom. Add the brown sugar, mustard and cranberries. Stir to dissolve sugar and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. The cranberries will burst. Mash then with a spoon and stir to make a thick sauce.
3. Spoon some sauce on a plate and place the cooked salmon on top. Spoon the remaining sauce over the salmon.
