Citrus Salmon with Grilled Peaches

Hi there! Sorry it's been ages since my last post... I've been living and interning in Chicago the past two months and have been busy getting familiar with the area (not to mention the delicious foods here). I've been a bad girl and indulging a little too much lately. With that said, this meal was the perfect way to get back on the right and healthy track.

As we all know, I am a huge salmon lover. I've been making the pistachio crusted salmon a little too much, and felt like I needed to branch out and try something new however. This new marinade is easy to make, very refreshing (so perfect for the summer) and healthy! I paired it with grilled peaches, and all in all, it was one VERY filling meal.

For the Citrus Salmon:

- Salmon

- 1 orange

- 1/2 Lemon

- 1 teaspoon oil

- 2 teaspoon agave nectar

- 2 pinches both pepper and crushed red pepper

- 2 stalks scallions 

Direcions:

- In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together (minus the salmon) and taste to make sure it has the right flavor. Also, make sure to finely chop the scallions!

- Place the salmon in a bowl or container and marinade for 20 minutes

- Move the salmon to a sprayed pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until it's cooked to your liking

*You could also grill the salmon, which is what I did

For the Grilled Peaches:

- 1 peach

- Cinnamon

- Cooking spray

Direction:

-Cut the peach in half

- Take the middle seed out and spray both insides with cooking spray very lightly

- Sprinkle as much or as little cinnamon on top

- Grill till it's cooked to your liking

*Can also drizzle honey or agave nectar on top

Cheers!
