Salmon with Tangelo Sauce

Here's a quick and easy Salmon recipe I made a while back, it took all of a half hour.

Ingredients
2 Salmon filet steaks
Juice of 2 tangelos, divided
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 TBSP butter
Salt
Pepper

Marinate the filets in the juice of one tangelo for 15 minutes.

In a pan on medium heat add the oil to the pan and cook the filets until the sides of the filet have turned opaque nearly to the top, around 4 minutes depending on thickness. Flip and cook just shy of the amount on the first side. The goal is to keep the flesh in the interior of the fish still moist-looking and just the other side of translucent. Although, honestly, if the salmon is fresh I don't mind it nearly raw in the center.

After you remove the filets from the pan add the juice of the other tangelo and scrape the bottom of the pan.

Reduce the juice to about half and add the butter to finish the pan sauce.

Tilt the pan on its side and spoon the sauce out (leaving the garlic bits behind) onto the plated filets.
Easy stuff, turned out mighty fine.
