For 1 serving:

1 salmon filet, 5 oz.
Orange zest, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
Juice of 1 orange (about 1/4 cup)
2 tbsp soy sauce, preferably low sodium
1 tsp olive or canola oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp sour cream, reduced fat or fat free

Pre-heat a small saute pan over medium heat.  Spray bottom of pan with spray oil.  Place salmon filet in pan, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.  While salmon is cooking, mix 2 tbsp of the orange juice with 2 tbsp of soy sauce and oil; add garlic and stir until blended.  Turn salmon in pan, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, and slowly pour orange juice and soy sauce mixture over filet.  Saute another 1-2 minutes until salmon is cooked through.  In a small bowl, stir sour cream with remaining 2 tbsp of orange juice and orange zest until blended.  Place salmon on a plate with sour cream mixture on the side or on top, as desired.
