Who’s in need of a healthy meal after this weekend? I know I definitely am! Soooo much good food and drink was consumed. I’m not mad about it at all. It was wonderful. I had such a great time with friends and family, but I’m definitely not feeling my best. These kind of easy, healthy recipes will save me this week.
How was your holiday weekend? Are you ready to get back into the swing of things or are you holding on to the last of the holidays? I’m in between. I love the holidays so much, but I also thrive with a schedule and routine. After New Years I’m sure I’ll be ready.
So. The best part of this recipe (other than how delicious it is) it that it’s only 3 ingredients. Yes, you heard that right. THREE. Salmon, blood oranges, and honey. You won’t believe the flavor that comes from just those simple ingredients.
I’m loving all the winter citrus right now. Blood oranges (of course) and satsumas are my favorite.
Sometimes, I’ll add a little grated ginger or lemon and lime for extra citrus flavor, but it’s SO good as is.
Salmon will forever be one of my favorite foods. It is filled with so much goodness and nutrients, and always tastes amazing with nearly every flavor combination.
This salmon would be so delicious on a salad too with this blood orange vinaigrette for extra blood orangey flavor!
