Salmon is such a great source of healthy fats like omega-3’s. When tomato salsa seems a little too boring, try this mandarin orange salsa, which is in season during the winter. The sweet, tart fruit is juicy and colorful and provides the perfect topper for a savory salmon fillet.

Roasted Salmon With Mandarin Salsa

Ingredients

  • 2 4-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chili pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons scallion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Place the salmon fillets on a small baking pan, skin-side down. In a cup, mix the chili powder and salt and sprinkle over the salmon. Roast for about 10 minutes, until cooked through. (farmed salmon takes 2–3 minutes longer)

For salsa, combine the oranges, jalapeño, scallion, lime and cilantro, toss to mix. Makes 3/4 cup salsa.

Serves: 2 | Serving Size: 1 fillet and 6 tablespoons salsa
