Citrus Salmon is a flavorful dish blending tender salmon filets with a zesty citrus glaze, often made from fresh orange, lemon, or lime juice, honey, garlic, and olive oil. This dish draws inspiration from Mediterranean and tropical cuisines, emphasizing bright, refreshing flavors and nutritious ingredients. Salmon, the star of the recipe, is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins like D and B12. The citrus adds a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, while olive oil contributes monounsaturated fats, supportive of cardiovascular health. Typically baked or pan-seared, Citrus Salmon is low in unhealthy fats and free of refined carbohydrates, making it a wholesome choice for balanced meals. Pair it with roasted vegetables or whole grains for added fiber and nutrients. However, watch portion sizes and added sugars from glazes to keep it as health-conscious as possible. This dish is both satisfying and nourishing.
