Citrus Broiled Salmon is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the rich flavors of fresh salmon with the zesty brightness of oranges. This recipe is straightforward and perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions. Here's how you can create this flavorful dish with ease.
Instructions:
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lay them out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Peel three of the oranges and slice them into thin rounds, removing any seeds as you go. Set aside.
- Juice the remaining orange and set the juice aside in a small bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped onion. Mix well.
- Pour this citrus marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they are thoroughly coated. Let the salmon marinate for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- After marinating, place the orange slices on top of each salmon fillet, overlapping them slightly.
- Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler, positioning it about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Broil the salmon for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Transfer the broiled salmon to serving plates, garnishing with the broiled orange slices and some fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve the citrus broiled Alaska salmon with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or steamed rice.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best taste and texture.
- You can use a mix of blood oranges and navel oranges for a more complex flavor profile.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
- Broil the salmon close to the heat source for a beautifully caramelized exterior.
- Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling; it can quickly go from perfectly cooked to overdone.
- Serve the salmon with a side of fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
With its vibrant citrus flavor and perfectly cooked salmon, Citrus Broiled Salmon is a dish that will impress your taste buds and those of your guests. It's a quick and easy recipe that doesn't compromise on taste or nutrition. Enjoy your cooking adventure with this fresh and delicious recipe!
