Salmon with Citrus Salsa


This dish is so refreshing. It would be great as a summer time dinner or lunch. Serve with a nice salad and some bread and you have perfect summer or even a warm spring time dinner. We have not had much spring time weather, so I served it with orzo, just so it paired better with the weather we have been having.

1 tomato, diced
1 orange, peeled and diced
1 green onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 avocado, diced
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
salt and pepper, for seasoning
salmon
soy sauce
orange juice

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together tomato, orange, green onion, jalapeno, avocado and cilantro. Toss together. You do not have to worry about the avocado browning, because the juice from the orange will keep it from turning.

In a small baking pan (I like to use a small glass casserole dish), place salmon and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with soy sauce and orange juice. Let rest for about 5 minutes.

Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or so. Just until cooked through to the desired doneness you prefer. If you need longer time, cook in 5 minutes increments.

Top salmon with citrus salsa. Serve and ENJOY!!!!!

Wine pairing.....Pouilly Fume or Pinot Noir.
