Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 3-4 variety of citrus orange, lime, lemon
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne or chipotle powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine brown sugar, mustard, cayenne and the juice of 1/2 of an orange in a small bowl and brush over salmon fillet (save a little to drizzle on when it comes out of the oven)
  • Slice citrus and lay over salmon. You may have some leftover. Save these for another use.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees, then turn to broil for remaining 5 minutes.

Citrus is a great fruit to always have on stock. It not only lasts a long time, but you can make an ordinary pantry recipe taste fresh and full of life. From sauces, salads, glazes and even smoothies, I always keep a bowl of citrus on hand.

This recipe is a simple glaze topped with blood oranges, lemons and limes. Blood oranges are my favorite, not only for presentation, but for flavor. Look for them the next time you’re at the grocery. They have a light reddish tinge to the skin.

Just 5 Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 3-4 blood oranges, limes and lemons
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne

Serving Ideas:

  • Summer Salad with Fried Goat Cheese Medallions
  • Classic Potato Gratin
  • Triple Layer Carrot Cake
  • Lightly fried goat cheese medallions sit ever so delicately on this inviting summer salad with fresh, seasonal greens layered with cucumber, radish and garden peas.
  • This carrot cake gets it’s moisture from crushed pineapple and coconut milk
