Maple Citrus Salmon with Orange-Avocado Salsa
Description
The Maple Citrus Salmon is prepared by coating salmon fillets in a mixture of maple syrup and orange juice, which infuses the fish with a gentle sweetness and citrus brightness. Seasoned lightly with fine sea salt and black pepper, the fillets are baked at a moderate temperature until they flake easily with a fork, ensuring a tender, moist texture.
While the salmon bakes, the orange-avocado salsa is combined from peeled navel orange chunks, diced avocado, red onion, bell pepper, seeded jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. This salsa adds freshness, creaminess, and a slight spicy kick that balances the sugary glaze on the fish.
Plating involves topping each salmon fillet with a generous portion of the salsa, providing a visually appealing and flavorful complement. The dish suits dinner when a light yet satisfying seafood option is desired, pairing well with simple sides or grains.
