Sockeye Salmon with Pineapple Citrus Salsa
3:25 PM
Every once in awhile I start to crave fish, strange.. maybe. But we eat a lot of chicken and beef in this house, so I just have to change it up. I frequent Costco, I love Costco. I purchase majority of our protein there, and last week I scooped up some a couple huge fillets of fresh wild caught sockeye salmon.
This may be my new go-to for salmon, the meat was flaky, moist and flavorful. The salsa added a bright and fresh contrast to the fish. This could go with any number of sides.. I happened to have rice made ahead and steamed the green beans while the salmon was baking.
Sockeye Salmon & Pineapple Citrus Salsa
Serves 4
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
- 1-2lb salmon fillet
- salt & black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce
For the Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Foil line a 9x13 glass baking dish.
- Place salmon fillet in dish, season with salt & pepper. In a small measuring cup mix the Coconut Aminos Teryaki Sauce with the Chili Garlic Sauce (this stuff has the best flavor!), then using a basting brush, coat the salmon fillet. Place lemon slices on fillet - (cooking lemon slices sweetens the juice it by caramelizing the sugars)
- Place in the oven for 12-15 mins, until meat flakes easily with a fork.
For the Salsa:
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
- 2 mandarin oranges, peeled, cut into chunks*
- 2-3 tablespoons finely diced cilantro
- 2-3 green onions, sliced
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Blend all the ingredients with a fork, let sit 5 mins
- Simply spoon onto each salmon fillet before serving. Enjoy!
Notes: * you can use canned mandarin oranges in their own juice if they are not in season.
