Ingredients
For the citrus salsa:
- 2 large oranges, peeled and chopped*
- 1 large avocado, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, deseeded and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
For the salmon:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Dash of crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- pomegranate arils, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the oranges, avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to combine. Set aside while you make the salmon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Place the salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Pat dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the glaze evenly over the salmon pieces.
- Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until it easily flakes with a fork. The baking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon pieces. You can turn the oven to broil and broil for 1 minute to crisp up the salmon.
- Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon pieces. Top with the citrus salsa and garnish with pomegranate arils, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I like to mix oranges. Navel, cara cara, blood, clementines, tangerines, and mandarins are all good options.
