Today’s Special: Tangy Citrus Salmon

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share a fresh and flavorful recipe with you today that’s perfect for a summer evening barbecue or a cozy winter dinner. This Tangy Citrus Salmon dish is bursting with zesty flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more. Let’s dive into the details and get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • salmon fillets (150g each)
  • orange juice
  • lemon zest
  • honey
  • ginger (fresh, grated)
  • soy sauce
  • garlic (minced)
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • basting brush
  • grater

To start, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon zest, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined to create the tangy citrus marinade for the salmon.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Once the salmon has marinated, remove it from the dish and place it on the grill. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the marinade occasionally to keep it moist and flavorful.

As the salmon cooks, the citrusy aroma will fill the air, creating anticipation for the delicious meal to come. Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the grill and serve hot.

This Tangy Citrus Salmon dish weighs approximately 750g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 187g and packs a punch of flavor with approximately 250 calories per portion.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra lemon zest on top of the cooked salmon just before serving. This will enhance the citrusy flavor and add a pop of freshness to every bite.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Tangy Citrus Salmon recipe as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
