Citrus Salmon with Orange Relish

This recipe, Citrus Salmon with Orange Relish, I wanted something different for dinner, so I looked through all my recipes (over 100).  I came across a small pamphlet from McCormick Spices for Health, which I’ve had for at least 12 years, and I haven’t looked through it since I picked it up at the A & P.  Well, you had to put the salmon in a marinade for up to 30 minutes or longer.  Of course I choose the latter, because I HAVE NEVER HAD SALMON BEFORE.  Well, it was SO GOOD, that I made it the next day, and have bought more salmon because I’m making it this week again.

Citrus Salmon with Orange Relish

¼ cup orange juice

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 tsp.  McCormick Thyme Leaves, divided

4 salmon fillets (about 1 lb.)

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic & Herb SALT FREE Seasoning

** I DIDN’T INCLUDE THE RELISH IN THE SALMON I MADE **

Orange Relish

½ tsp. grated orange peel

2 seedless oranges, peeled, sectioned and cut into ½ inch pieces

2 Tbsp. chopped red bell pepper

1 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. chopped red onion

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

½ tsp. McCormick Ground Ginger

 

FOR THE SALMON:  Mix orange juice, oil, and 1 teaspoon of the thyme in small bowl.  Place salmon in large resealable plastic bag or glass dish.  Add marinade; turn to coat well.  Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor.  For the relish, mix all ingredients in medium bowl.  Cover.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

MIX brown sugar, Perfect Pinch, remaining ½ teaspoon thyme in small bowl.  Remove salmon from marinade.  Discard any remaining marinade.  Rub salmon evenly with the Perfect Pinch marinade.  Place salmon on foil-lined baking dish.

BAKE in preheated 400 F. oven 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Or grill salmon over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes per sides or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Serve with Orange Relish.             4 servings
