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.

Steps:
- Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
- Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

GRILLED CITRUS SALMON
This is a fantastic way of grilling Salmon, and the sauce is simply fantastic - To make a cedar plank version, soak an untreated cedar plank in clean water for 2 hours. Place the plank on the grill over high heat and preheat for 5-10 minutes, or until the wood begins smoking. Place the salmon on the cedar and proceed as directed in the recipe. For best results, use skinless salmon.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray a 9" x 9" x 2" pan with cooking spray.
- Lay fish in pan. Coat each fillet with Mrs. Dash Lemon Peper Blend.
- Alternate slices of lemon and orage on top of fish. Sprinkle with wine.
- Place in oven for 5 minutes. Lower heat to 325 degrees and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until fish flakes. Rest 3-4 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon available. Fresh salmon will have a vibrant pink color and a mild, slightly briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong fishy smell.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. Different citrus fruits will impart different flavors to the salmon. For a sweet and tangy flavor, use oranges and grapefruit. For a more tart flavor, use lemons and limes.
- Don't overcrowd the grill. If you overcrowd the grill, the salmon will not cook evenly. Leave at least 1 inch of space between each piece of salmon.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
- Baste the salmon with the citrus marinade throughout the cooking process. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
- Cook the salmon until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Grilled Citrus Salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The salmon is tender and flaky, and the citrus marinade gives it a bright and flavorful taste. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with a variety of different citrus fruits. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give Grilled Citrus Salmon a try!
