Each time I share a quick 15-minute recipe, I know we all breathe a sigh of relief. This Citrus & Honey Salmon recipe could not be easier or prettier—it doesn’t even need to marinate! Toss together the glaze, pour it on, and cut up the citrus in your fruit bowl for an elegant presentation. Your guests (or kids!) are sure to be impressed by the sushi grade fish that was delivered to your door…
About the Fish: Salmon
Biology: Salmon (Salmo salar) is a cold-water fish found in the North Atlantic Ocean and rivers that flow into the Atlantic. It’s also commonly found in the Pacific Ocean, with various species inhabiting the coastal waters of North America, Japan, and Russia.
Taste & Nutrition: Salmon has a rich, buttery flavor with a firm and flaky texture, as well as a high oil content that gives it a luxurious mouthfeel. Salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B6 and B12, vitamin D, and minerals like selenium.
Cooking: Salmon can be baked, grilled, smoked, or pan-seared. Its firm texture and high oil content make it versatile for various cooking methods, though we recommend baking it for this specific recipe.
Sustainability: Nordic Catch salmon is sustainably-caught and shipped fresh, never frozen to your doorstep. Fishing stocks in Iceland are constantly monitored to avoid overfishing and nearly all of our Icelandic salmon are caught via longline.
Onto the Citrus Salmon recipe!
