Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large oranges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions, finely sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil, for oiling the grill
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center cut salmon fillets, skinned, each about 3-inches square
2 tablespoons amber agave nectar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

SALSA FRESCA



Salsa Fresca image

This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dips and spreads, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 small white or red onion, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pound fresh, ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1 to 3 jalapeño or serrano chiles, to taste, minced (and seeded, if you would like a milder salsa)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, more to taste
1 to 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.

Tips:

  • Ensure your salmon is fresh and of good quality. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • For the salsa fresca, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they have fewer seeds and a concentrated flavor.
  • Choose your herbs carefully. Cilantro and mint are classic choices, but you can also experiment with other herbs like basil, dill, or parsley.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the salmon. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky.
  • Let the cooked salmon cool slightly before serving. This will help the salsa fresca to adhere to the fish.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon with salsa fresca is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the salsa fresca is a refreshing and flavorful topping. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
