Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large oranges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions, finely sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil, for oiling the grill
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center cut salmon fillets, skinned, each about 3-inches square
2 tablespoons amber agave nectar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

SWEET & SMOKY SALSA



Sweet & Smoky Salsa image

I love the roasted flavor that grilling gives food, so I decided to make a salsa from grilled vegetables. I think this recipe would also taste great using plum tomatoes. Also, if you can't use wood chip charcoal, you might try adding a little liquid smoke to the salsa while it cooks. -Shelly Bevington, Hermiston, Oregon

  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. The best way to cook salmon is to bake it in the oven at a low temperature until it is cooked through. If you overcook the salmon, it will become dry and tough.
  • Make sure the orange salsa is fresh. The orange salsa is a key component of this dish, so it's important to make sure it is fresh. Use fresh oranges, cilantro, and red onion. You can also add other ingredients to the salsa, such as diced avocado or chopped jalapeño peppers.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This sweet n' smoky salmon with orange salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the orange salsa is a refreshing and flavorful complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
