Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using).
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Let it bubble for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened and it coats the back of a spoon.
If the glaze is too thin, simmer a minute longer; if too thick, add a teaspoon of water.
Brush salmon lightly with olive oil. (Optional: Sear fillets skin-side down in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes before baking for crisp edges.)
Arrange salmon on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on.
Spoon half the orange glaze over the top of each fillet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is just opaque in the center.
Remove from oven and brush remaining glaze over the salmon.
Switch oven to broil. Broil salmon for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Transfer salmon to plates, spoon any extra glaze over the top, and garnish with sliced green onion or chives if desired. Serve immediately.
