Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • 2 oranges, peeled, flesh cut into segments, and juice squeezed from membranes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 bunch watercress (about 3/4 pound), thick ends trimmed
