Steps:
- For the salsa: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, capers, orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- For the salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grilling rack with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Brush the salmon on both sides with the agave nectar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Spoon the salsa verde on top of the salmon or serve on the side as an accompaniment.

SAUTéED SALMON WITH CITRUS SALSA
Consider this speedy salmon dish a fall anecdote to a holiday season filled with rich stews, braises, and roasts. The tart, bright citrus topper cuts through the natural fattiness of the salmon; it would overwhelm lighter fish like cod or flounder. Serve for a simple, elegant date night, or double to serve 4. After freeing the citrus sections, squeeze the membranes over a bowl and make a quick vinaigrette for enjoying during the week. Change up the salsa with chopped tart-crisp apples and a seeded minced jalapeño, or try diced ripe pear and pomegranate arils.

GINGER-DILL SALMON
Salmon, gently roasted to a buttery medium-rare, stars in this make-ahead-friendly dish. Fruity citrus and dill join spicy radishes and ginger, and the result is a refreshing, jostling mix of juicy, crunchy, creamy, spicy and sweet. Both the salad and the salmon can be made two days ahead, and everything is good at room temperature or cold. To embellish further, consider baby greens, thinly sliced cucumbers or fennel, roasted beets, soba noodles, tostadas, furikake or chile oil.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat the salmon dry, then place on the tray skin-side down (if there is skin) and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the dill, ginger and olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half of the dill-ginger mixture over the top of the salmon. (Reserve the remaining dill-ginger mixture.) Bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (You'll know the salmon is done when the fish flakes or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part is 120 degrees.)
- As the salmon cooks, cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit and set the grapefruit down on one of the cut sides. Follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the peel and pith. Squeeze the peels into the remaining dill-ginger mixture to get out any juice. Cut the fruit in half from top to bottom, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons and remove the seeds. If your pieces are especially large, halve them again. Transfer the fruit and any juice on the cutting board to the bowl. Repeat with the oranges. Add the radishes, season generously with salt, and stir gently to combine.
- Break the salmon into large pieces, and divide across plates with the citrus salad. Peel and pit the avocado, then quarter lengthwise and add to plates. Season with salt. Spoon the juices from the bowl over top, and season with black pepper, another drizzle of olive oil, and flaky sea salt, if using.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS-SOY GLAZE
Steps:
- Toss first 4 ingredients in large bowl to combine. Whisk vinegar, 1/4 cup canola oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and sesame oil in medium bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper; add to pan. Cook salmon until brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque in center, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer salmon to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add ginger and garlic to same skillet. Sauté 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add orange and lime juices and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; boil until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup glaze, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Rewhisk vinaigrette. Add to vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Divide equally among plates. Place 1 salmon fillet atop vegetables on each plate. Drizzle glaze over salmon and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. Look for one that is firm and has a vibrant color.
- Make sure to remove the skin from the salmon fillet before cooking. This will help the fish cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the salsa. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of citrus fruits. Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons all work well in this salsa.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
This salmon with ginger citrus salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family.
