Orange Salmon with Avocado and Tomatoes

Serves: 2

Ingredients
Protein
2 6-8oz Salmon Filets

Vegetables/Fruit
3-4 large navel oranges
1 large avocado
1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes
3 cups of fresh spinach

Sauces/Spices
3 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar
Salt and Pepper

Method:
1.  Zest one orange and sprinkle on the salmon.  Squeeze out the juice from the orange and also pour over the salmon.  If there is not enough juice, use the second orange.  I try to get at least ⅓ of a cup to ½ cup of juice for the marinade.  Sprinkle some pepper and salt if it’s your preference, and then set the salmon aside for at least 20 minutes.

2.  In a medium bowl, grate the zest of an orange.  Squeeze the juice from the same orange and then add the balsamic vinegar.  Whisk together with some salt and pepper to taste.

 

3.  Halve the tomatoes and cut the avocado into chunks.  Cut and slice another orange into wedge slices.  Put the avocado, tomatoes, and orange wedges into the bowl.

4.  Using a spoon, toss everything together well and set aside.






5.  Heat up a pan with some coconut oil.  Once the pan is hot, add the salmon filets.  Let the filets cook for 4-5 minutes then flip over when ready.  Cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.  



6.  Prepare plates with spinach.  Place salmon on the plate and spoon the avocado, tomato, and orange mixture on top.  Drizzle the orange-balsamic vinegar all over and serve.
