SAUTéED SALMON WITH CITRUS SALSA



Sautéed Salmon with Citrus Salsa image

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.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For salmon
1 (3-lb) piece salmon fillet with skin (1 inch thick at thickest part; preferably center cut)
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For sauce
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt or plain whole-milk yogurt (see cooks' note, below)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon mild honey (to taste)
Accompaniment: lime wedges
Special Equipment
pliers (preferably needlenose)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Line rack of broiler pan with foil and lightly oil foil with some olive oil.
  • Pat fish dry and check for bones by running your hand over fish from thinnest to thickest end. Remove any bones with pliers. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, then broil 4 inches from heat 7 minutes. Cover fish loosely with foil and continue broiling until just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes more.
  • While salmon broils, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined.
  • Serve salmon with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in nutrients and higher in contaminants.
  • Cook the salmon gently. Overcooking can dry out the salmon and make it tough. Bake, grill, or poach the salmon until it is cooked through but still moist.
  • Make a flavorful citrus sauce. The citrus sauce in this recipe is made with fresh lemon juice, orange juice, and zest. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as dill, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This salmon with citrus sauce recipe is a healthy and delicious seafood dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the citrus sauce is light and flavorful. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
