Citrus Salmon with Gremolata

Citrus Salmon with Gremolata

Hints of citrus glaze the salmon before baking, while the gremolata finishes it off, adding a bright freshness over the top right before serving. Serves 4

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Hella Citrus Bitters
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray, for greasing
  • 11/2 pounds fresh salmon, deboned

Gremolata

  • Zest from 1/2 lemon
  • Zest from 1/2 orange
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, orange juice, and bitters. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray. Place salmon on top and brush with citrus marinade. Roast salmon until cooked through, and it can easily be flaked with a fork, 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness).
  4. Meanwhile, make gremolata. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, orange zest, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove salmon and allow to cool slightly. Remove skin and transfer to a serving platter. Top with gremolata and serve.
