SAUTéED SALMON WITH CITRUS SALSA
Consider this speedy salmon dish a fall anecdote to a holiday season filled with rich stews, braises, and roasts. The tart, bright citrus topper cuts through the natural fattiness of the salmon; it would overwhelm lighter fish like cod or flounder. Serve for a simple, elegant date night, or double to serve 4. After freeing the citrus sections, squeeze the membranes over a bowl and make a quick vinaigrette for enjoying during the week. Change up the salsa with chopped tart-crisp apples and a seeded minced jalapeño, or try diced ripe pear and pomegranate arils.

SALMON WITH MANGO-CITRUS SALSA
My mother would make this for us on weeknights in summer-this was the only way we would eat fish. You can make the salsa a day ahead of time. Just keep it in the refrigerator in a covered container until ready to use. -Najmussahar Ahmed, Canton, Michigan

Tips:
- For the freshest salmon, choose wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon whenever possible.
- To ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly, use a sharp knife to score the skin before cooking.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of citrus fruits for the salsa. Grapefruit, oranges, and limes are all great options.
- If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as fresh herbs.
- Serve the salmon with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
