   In a large skillet/frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. When hot, place the salmon in, skin side down. Cook on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes before turning it around. At this stage you can add more oil if needed. Again, cook for a further 4 minutes or until ready.

   Saute, stirring constantly for half a minute. Now add the stock, honey, orange zest, orange juice and lemon thyme and increase the heat to high. Cook until reduced slightly (about 5 mins). Taste it.
6. 6

   To thicken the sauce, dilute 1 tbsp of cornstarch in 1 tbsp water. To this add little bit of the sauce before you stir all into the sauce. Stir until thickens.
