– A guest recipe post by Anna Atkins of @lemonsqueezy – Salmon in Citrus Sauce – A yummy, quick healthy dish!

Notes from Anna:

A healthy, tasty dinner bursting with zingy flavours.  Salmon is rich in the all important Omega 3 healthy fats, while the citrus fruit adds vitamin C and antioxidants.

Flake any leftover salmon and mix with chopped tomatoes and lettuce for a delicious sandwich filling for tomorrow’s lunch.

INGREDIENTS

• 800 g salmon fillets
• 1 orange, preferably organic
• 1 unwaxed lemon
• 1 Bunch spring onions
• 2.5 cm piece fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash the orange and lemon. Grate the zest and squeeze the juice.
2. Peel and grate the ginger.
3. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry with kitchen paper.
4. Trim the spring onions, discarding the tougher green end and the outer leaf. Finely slice and rinse under running water.
5. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the salmon fillets and cook over a very low heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Scatter the spring onion slices, the orange and lemon zest and the grated ginger on top of the salmon and continue cooking for a further 2-3 minutes.
