Citrus Herb Salmon with Orange Red Onion Salsa

Salmon

Directions

1. Whisk together the freshly-squeezed juice, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ cup olive oil and ¼ cup chopped herbs, then place in a shallow dish or gallon zip-top bag.
2. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade and allow to marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
3. About 5 – 10 minutes before salmon is finished marinating, set up the broiler: Make sure the top oven rack is about 7 – 8 inches from the top of the oven. Then, preheat the broiler on high.
4. Once the salmon has finished marinating for 15 minutes, remove the pieces from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the salmon pieces skin side down on a baking tray. Sprinkle the salmon with a little additional salt and broil for 10 – 11 minutes, or until the outside of the salmon is nicely browned and the inside is cooked through.
5. Remove the salmon pieces onto a platter and top with the orange red onion salsa.

Orange Red Onion Salsa

Directions

1. While the salmon is marinating: cut a small piece off the top and bottom of each orange so it lays flat on your cutting board, then cut the skin off the oranges with a knife, cutting from top to bottom in strips, making sure to remove all of the white pith.
2. Cut the orange flesh into small bite- sized pieces. Add the orange pieces to a medium bowl, along with the remaining salsa ingredients. Add salt to taste. Set aside.
