Maple Citrus Salmon with Orange Avocado Salsa
Salmon is one of my quick and healthy weeknight go-to meals, the trick is finding new ways to prepare it so it doesn’t get boring. Maple Citrus Salmon with Orange-Avocado Salsa uses fresh produce and a cool element to a hot plank of salmon.
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- fine sea salt and pepper
- cooking spray
- 2 large navel oranges peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 avocados diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place salmon fillets in a single layer in the bottom of the baking dish and season with fine sea salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and orange juice. Pour over salmon fillets, allowing to sit for at least 10 minutes before baking.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for orange-avocado salsa in a medium bowl and gently toss.
- Remove salmon from the oven, plate and top with a generous helping of Orange-Avocado Salsa.

Shrimp Pasta in a Goat Cheese and Pine Nut Sauce
This is a very pleasant and tasty way to combine shrimp and pasta. I loved using half-and-half as the sauce base, and the undertone of lemon juice and overtone of lemon zest combined well to produce a fine flavor that is redolent of Greek cooking. Up here pine nuts are $40.00/ lb. retail and $20.00 lb. at Costco, but the weather did not permit a trip! So I subbed in slivered almonds for the pine nuts and I would encourage cooks who resist making this dish because of cost to do the same—it would be a shame to overlook Table9's lovely work on that account. Another time I might up the shrimp to 1 pound. For those who enjoy a more piquant flavor, increase the red pepper flakes to 3/4 tsp. or even possibly 1 tsp. I used 1/3 c. of the pasta liquid to produce a creamier consistency.
